*** About Cougar: The cougar, also known as the mountain lion or puma, is a powerful and adaptable predator native to the Americas. This majestic cat is the second-largest cat in the New World after the jaguar. Adapted to various habitats from mountains to forests and deserts, cougars are solitary and elusive, leading predominantly nocturnal lifestyles. Their diet mainly consists of deer and smaller mammals. Despite their widespread presence, cougars are often shrouded in mystery and are significant figures in the folklore and spiritual beliefs of many native cultures across the continent, symbolizing strength, cunning, and the complexity of the natural world.
