This article will not deal with cougar women but with the animal Puma concolor also known as cougar, mountain lion, puma, mountain cat, catamount ,and various other names also.The cougar, which is also commonly referred to as a puma, mountain lion or panther, is the second largest cat in North America. “Cougar” also stands for women over the age of 40 or more who are interested in dating men at least 10 years younger than them. Actual lions belong to the Panthera genus.Mountain lions and cougars are animals the same animal referred to with different names depending on the region they are found in. Cougars are not related to lions, as they belong to the Puma genus. It’s a popular nickname that has become more widely used over time, but the name is actually quite misleading. The name mountain lion is commonly used throughout the western United States and Canada.
They prefer dense underbrush, precipitous canyons, but can survive in open areas too with little vegetation.The mountain lion is related more closely to felines which are smaller than lions. The cougars have adapted themselves to many varied habitats like lowlands, all kinds of forests, and mountainous deserts. The prime reason for its vast distribution is its great adaptability.
The cubs are born spotted with blue eyes and tails with rings on them. Unlike other lions, they cannot roar but can scream, thus the name “mountain screamer.” The mountain lions have a plain coloring because of which they acquired the name “concolor.” Their underbodies have lighter patches. The cougars have low-pitched purrs and growls. The males weigh from 115-220 pounds, and females weigh from 65-140 pounds. They are agile and slender being the fourth largest in the cat family.
An exception is the Florida panther which feeds on armadillos and hogs too.Cougars are solitary animals. The cougars which are found in northern ranges also prey upon insects and small animals like rodents. Their main food consists of deer, bighorn sheep, elk, horses, moose, domestic cattle, etc. They stalk and ambush their prey before hunting them.
Three bales away from each other. I was walking slowly on the side of a haybale row as I almost reached the end of it to my surprise a fairly good size cougar came walking from the end bale and we both were frozen in our tracks. The names are different because they are distributed in a wide range, and people refer to them with different names depending upon their region.I was face to face with a adolescent male cougar while I was just walking in for a bow hunt. Young ones leave their mothers at the age of almost two.“Cougar” and “mountain lion” are the same animal. The litter size is two to six cubs, and the mortality rate is high. Only females live in groups with the cubs.
All I had was my compound bow which I hadn’t put an arrow in yet. It also never took it’s eyes off me. It just felt like it could make that sound and breathe at the same time. It also seemed that it didn’t stop to take a breath either. I will never forget the everlasting sound he made towards me.
I was able to get around the end of the bale row and shaking like a earthquake as I walked out aways into a crop field back to my vehicle calling my hunting trip a trip of it’s own feeling like it was going to jump up on that row of bales and come take me down for supper. After he decided to take a break under the cedars. But the whole time it did this it never took he’s eyes off of me even while it went in between closely placed little trees 2 to 5 foot apart. It turned and slowly circled me and went to a row of cedar trees and crouched down about 45 feet or so away from me. Finally which ended up being about 45 minutes of the face to face meeting we had. It seemed to last for days with the stare down.
God you were there giving me the strength to overcome the cougar with willpower. That will be forever with me. Thanking God himself for all the help he gave me in that one in a lifetime occasion. I started up my truck and left.
