P-22 was compassionately euthanized in December 2022 when he was caught for an evaluation, which showed he was underweight, had organ failure, and was likely hit by a car. Threats to survival 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] Cougars hunt from dusk to dawn; however, they will also hunt during the day. Is a Mountain Lion a Carnivore?

Many countries in which the cougar lives have prohibited hunting the big cats, but there are some that allow cougar hunting in an effort to manage populations by licensed hunters during early and late hunting seasons. Kittens remain with their mother for about 13 to 24 months while they learn the hunting skills necessary to survive. Eventually, the mother will drive off her offspring and they will set out to establish their own home range. Cougars vs. coyotes photos draw Internet crowd". missoulian.com. April 8, 2013.

Arguably the world’s most famous cougar was an animal called P-22, whose father was P-001—the first puma to be collared by the National Park Service. Born in the Santa Monica Mountains, P-22 left his birthplace to find his own territory and crossed some of the world’s busiest freeways to reach L.A.’s Griffith Park, part of the Hollywood Hills, where he lived for 10 years.

Mountain lion” was first used in 1858 in the western United States and Canada. It’s believed it was called a mountain lion because lions and cougars have striking similarities. Other names include catamount, panther, red lion, painter, American lion, Mexican lion, and mountain screamer. 2. The cougar is the fourth largest cat species in the world Murphy, K.M. 1998. The ecology of the cougar (Puma concolor) in the northern Yellowstone ecosystem: Interactions with prey, bears, and humans. PhD. Moscow, ID: University of Idaho. The cougar is a generalist hypercarnivore. It prefers large mammals such as mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, moose, mountain goat and bighorn sheep. It opportunistically takes smaller prey such as rodents, lagomorphs, smaller carnivores, birds and even domestic animals including pets. [49] The mean weight of cougar vertebrate prey increases with its body weight and is lower in areas closer to the equator. A survey of North America research found 68% of prey items were ungulates, especially deer. Only the Florida panther showed variation, often preferring feral hogs and armadillos. [31] Cougars have been known to prey on introduced gemsbok populations in New Mexico. One individual cougar was recorded as hunting 29 gemsbok, which made up 58% of its recorded kills. Most gemsbok kills were neonates, but some adults were also known to have been taken. [50] Elsewhere in the southwestern United States, they have been recorded to also prey on feral horses in the Great Basin, [51] as well as feral donkeys in the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts. [52] 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] Oddly enough, the further you go toward the equator, the smaller the pumas will get, so all of you living in Canada better watch out, as you’ve got some of the biggest cougars on the planet, with two of the largest cougars ever caught coming from British Colombia which weighed 86.4 and 95.5 kilograms.We’ve put together 10 incredible cougar facts to help you learn a little more about this powerful predator. 1.
