Puma resting on a rock in the Torres Del Paine NP, Chile
I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

Le puma (puma concolor = une seule couleur) aussi appelé couguar ou lion des montagnes, est un félin d'Amérique. Son aire de répartition est très large, du Canada (cougar) à l'Amérique du Sud. C'est un sportif accompli :
Le puma peut courir jusqu'à 72 km/h, sur de courtes distances toutefois . En outre, il peut franchir jusqu'à 12 mètres en longueur, d'un bond à partir d'une position fixe. Enfin, il est capable de faire des bonds atteignant 4 à 5 mètres de haut, sans élan. C'est un bon nageur s'il ne le fait qu'en cas de menace. Pour les besoins de la chasse ou en cas de menace, il est capable de grimper aux arbres et de faire preuve d'une grande agilité.
As dusk sets in over the temperate rainforest in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland, a large male Cougar pauses briefly while moving through the lush understory. Photographed using a DSLR camera trap.

Cougar Falls is a 40 ft waterfall on the Nickel Creek in Mt. Rainier National Park. This is the very top of it or, technically, it may be a different falls, because there is a nice round pool of water below us, before the main section begins. In any case, it is a lovely falls framed by smooth rock and brightly colored moss. It is a very short hike from the main park road. There is a small parking lot, but the trailhead is unmarked.

In December 2007, on the park hill Vellert, part of the new building district Zuidbroek, Apeldoorn, was the image Cage-with-no-cougar-in-it [Kooi-met-geen-poema-er-in] (locally known as The Cougar [De Poema]). The artwork is 12 meters long, 9 meters tall and consists of 2000 meters steel wire. The whole weighs 3000 kilos. After the image was completed in a large hall, it was sawn into five parts and transported from Dordrecht to Apeldoorn. The parts have been reassembled. From a distance there appears to be an animal in the cage, but up-close it's an abstract artwork.

(In 2006 there were stories that there was a cougar wandering around on the Veluwe. This was never proven.) Typically "komkommertijd"-news.
When the newspapers are thin because of holidays and when little or nothing is to report on politics – since all politicians are on leave – one speaks of "komkommertijd" (translation from dutch to english "Cucumberseason"). In practice it comes down to the summer months of July and August.

Looking to be a tad bit tardy, the Coast Starlight rolls through Cougar, California on a perfect summer morning in August 1994. As No. 14 passes over Deer Mountain Road, it's next stop will be at Klamath Falls, Oregon in a little over an hour. The grade is about 1.4% ascending here.

Zoe is 16 years old and came to the Park as a frost bitten orphan. She did lose the dark end of her tail to the frostbite but is otherwise healthy and rules the roost in this enclosure.
We would sincerely like to apologize to anyone who thought they would find a picture of Mountain Lions in their natural habitat. You see, Grandma Fergeson sent Charlie Jr. out to get a picture of Cougars, real cougars. Now she figured he would just go on down to the library and get on the inter-web and download some pictures for her to choose from. Instead he went on down to Duke And Min’s Drive In Diner and took this picture.
I hear tell, you can buy insurance for the cougar on the left.

The Mercury Cougar is likely an AMT kit. It was found on Ebay and crafted by an unknown modeler who did a great job on the build.
The sun sets over The Superstition Mountains in Apache Junction near Phoenix, Arizona. This was the last good day to shoot the cougar shadow and I got this with my drone
