Everyone always assumes wolves have the upper hand," says ecologist Mark Elbroch, the leader of Panthera's Puma Program. "But that's not always the case." (Cougars are interchangeably referred to as pumas and mountain lions.)

Adult males weigh 145–170 pounds; females weigh 85–120 pounds; length, including tail, 6.5–7.5 feet. The cougar is threatened by habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, and depletion of its prey base due to poaching. Hunting is legal in western United States. In Florida heavy traffic causes frequent accidents involving cougars. Highways are a major barrier for dispersal of cougars. [1]Rau, J. R. & Jiménez, J. E. (2002).

In many of the cougar’s habitats, including Costa Rica, California, and Brazil, hunting is prohibited. In Canada, Peru, Mexico, and the United States, hunting is regulated, which is partly why cougar numbers remain as they are. On average, these big cats will make a kill once every two weeks, taking the kill to a hidden spot, covering it with a bush, and feeding on it over a period of a few days. Wild, Paula (2013).

We just had our amazing encounter yesterday, to worried about our little animals to grab camera in time! Prior to wolf reintroduction (1987–1993), Yellowstone National Park’s northern range was occupied year-round by an estimated 15 to 22 cougars, including adults, subadults, and kittens. There were 26–42 cougars estimated after wolf establishment (1998–2005). In 2014, a new study began which seeks to estimate population abundance in the same region using noninvasive genetic-survey methods. Biologists estimated between 29 and 45 individuals resided across the northern portion of Yellowstone (all age and sex classes combined) between 2014 and 2017 (Anton 2020). Currently, population estimation is underway using a remote camera survey grid methodology with preliminary results indicating a stable population since 2017. Since 2016, Global Positioning Collars (GPS) are used to study movements, predation, and population monitoring on 4–7 individuals a year. Gutiérrez-González, C. E. & López-González, C. A. (2017).

P. c. concolor (Linnaeus, 1771) includes the synonyms bangsi, incarum, osgoodi, soasoaranna, sussuarana, soderstromii, suçuaçuara, and wavula Cougars hunt from dusk to dawn; however, they will also hunt during the day.

In 2006, the Florida panther was still referred to as a distinct subspecies P. c. coryi in research works. [19] After six weeks, the family will leave the den, and kittens learn to hunt from their mother. Cougars are ready to set out on their own at around 18 months old. Males often strike out farther from their mother to avoid the threats of a rival male; one was recorded traveling 1,800 miles in search of a new home. Hollywood cougar Although cougars may breed and have kittens at any time of year, most populations have a peak breeding and birthing season. In Yellowstone, males and females breed primarily from February through May. Males and females without kittens search for one another by moving throughout their home ranges and communicating through visual and scent markers called scrapes. A female’s scrape conveys her reproductive status. A male’s scrape advertises his presence to females and warns other males that an area is occupied. After breeding, the males leave the female.

Principal Threats: According to 2001 statistics provided from actual sales of hunting permits, almost 2100 cougars are still being killed each year. This figure does not include all the cougars killed by hunters who do not buy licenses nor report their kills. Less than 3% of our population are hunters but they kill over 100 million animals each year for sport. Now, the origin of the name cougar is slightly confusing, so bear with me. The word cougar comes from the Portuguese word çuçuarana, which was originally taken from the Tupi language. P. c. anthonyi ( Nelson and Goldman, 1931) includes acrocodia, borbensis, capricornensis, concolor, greeni, and nigra Felid TAG recommendation: Puma (Puma concolor). A widely held species, the Felid TAG is urging the elimination of this species from collections, whenever possible, in favor of similar-sized, but rarer SSP or PMP felid species. Only acquisition of pumas needed for education or zoogeographic exhibit themes is recommended. With the exception of the Florida panther, no breeding is recommended. The present zoo population of pumas is comprised of more than 200 individuals, and the studbook keeper is striving to reduce this number to 120 or less. In cases of exhibition need, new animals should be acquired from other AZA institutions or, alternatively, couger cubs from sanctuary or rescue programs. Kobilinsky, Dana (March 9, 2023). "Rising oryx numbers may distress New Mexico ecosystem". The Wildlife Society. Archived from the original on March 11, 2023 . Retrieved March 12, 2023.From 1987 to 1996, the first cougar ecology study was conducted in Yellowstone National Park. The research documented population dynamics of cougars in the northern Yellowstone ecosystem inside and outside the park boundary, determined home ranges and habitat requirements, and assessed the role of cougars as a predator. Of the 88 cougars that were captured, 80 were radio-collared. You say there are 119 in the U.S. Thats absurd. The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates 1,500 in the State of Washington alone. I don’t know where you got your numbers but they are absolutely wrong.
