Environmental Science and Technology. 51(19), 11020-11028. The cougar has been listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List since 2008. However, it is also listed on CITES Appendix II. [1] Hunting it is prohibited in California, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, French Guiana, Suriname, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and most of Argentina. Hunting is regulated in Canada, Mexico, Peru and the United States. [30] Establishing wildlife corridors and protecting sufficient range areas are critical for the sustainability of cougar populations. Research simulations showed that it faces a low extinction risk in areas larger than 2,200km 2 (850sqmi). Between one and four new individuals entering a population per decade markedly increases persistence, thus highlighting the importance of habitat corridors. [87]

Of all the cat species worldwide, the cougar is the fourth largest, with adult male cougars standing up to 90cm at the shoulder, measuring up to 2.4 meters long, and weighing anywhere from 53 to 72 kilograms. Felis concolor was the scientific name proposed by Carl Linnaeus in 1771 for a cat with a long tail from Brazil. [15] The second half of the name, "concolor" is Latin for "of uniform color". It was placed in the genus Puma by William Jardine in 1834.

Environmental Science and Technology, 48, 1803–1810 The North American cougar has a solid tan-colored coat without spots and weighs 25–80kg (55–176 pounds). [8] Females average 50kg (110lb), about the same as a jaguar in the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve on the Mexican Pacific coast. [5] Habitat and distribution [ edit ] P. c. concolor (Linnaeus, 1771) includes the synonyms bangsi, incarum, osgoodi, soasoaranna, sussuarana, soderstromii, suçuaçuara, and wavula Investigations at Yellowstone National Park showed that elk and mule deer were the cougar's primary targets; the prey base is shared with the park's wolves, with which the cougar competes for resources. [53] A study on winter kills from November to April in Alberta showed that ungulates accounted for greater than 99% of the cougar diet. Learned, individual prey recognition was observed, as some cougars rarely killed bighorn sheep, while others relied heavily on the species. [54]
