Cougar Beauty Secrets

I was looking at a docu about Patagonia on tv, saw so many beautiful scapes and animals.. a lot of blue ice also... so I took my camera, which I cannot advise to anybody 'cause all pictures were moved, so bad.. except only one.. this one.. it 's with infrared 'light'/camera made during night when cougar mum was hunting/looking out to be able to feed her young ones.. so I didn 't really make the photo myself, yet still a bit, which was not obvious at all.. it 's because she was standing still long enough and the camera man didn 't move either.. I liked it so much..
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 is 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.

Just as the brush was starting to take over the classic shot near Cougar, Amtrak 14 rolls by on a typical clear mountain morning. It was May 1, 1999 in the Shasta Cascade Wonderland.
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.

Although they are usually called a Cougar, a Mountain Lion or a Panther, they are also often referred to as Painter, Deer Tiger and Catamount, depending on your geographic location. The Cougar has forty recognized names in the English language as well as at least twenty-five native North American names and eighteen South American names. All of which just goes to show how important scientific names are when referring to a species of animal. Like all other animals the Puma has only one scientific name (although this name may be changed to reflect our increasing scientific knowledge). Currently the Puma is Puma concolor (it was Felis concolor but this name is not now correct as the Puma is no longer considered to be a member of the genus Felis.)
For animals that hunt at night an enhanced sense of touch is obviously useful and for cats this is supplied by special sensitive hairs called vibrissae by scientists, but otherwise commonly known as whiskers. Vibrissae are extremely sensitive to touch and can tell the cat about even small changes in air movement around it. Being longer than ordinary hairs they are the first part of a cat to touch the world and they therefore allow a cat to move around in complete darkness without bumping into things.
Felines, with the notable exception of lions and to a lesser extent domestic cats, are habitually solitary, however they are sometimes are found in pairs (either m/m, f/f or m/f) or larger groups consisting of a single adult female and her immature young. Three quarters of cat species live in forests and many prefer a dense undergrowth that helps them approach their prey unseen.

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
The sun sets over the Superstition Mountains creating The Cougar Shadow, Apache Junction, AZ. Like The Mitten Shadow, this only happens twice a year at the equinox.
