Le cougar vu au secteur Montagnes rocheuse du Zoo sauvage de St-Félicien, 2230 Bd du Jardin, Saint-Félicien, Québec, Canada.
Le puma (Puma concolor), également appelé lion de montagne, cougar (Canada), est un mammifère carnivore qui appartient à la famille des félidés. C'est un animal solitaire qui vit en Amérique. Difficile à observer, il ressemble à un léopard sans taches, ce qui explique que, par abus de langage, on le désigne parfois également sous le terme de « panthère ».
Le pelage du puma est uniforme (concolor signifie « d'une seule couleur »), même si l'on devine parfois des rayures sur ses membres antérieurs. La couleur reste dans les tons fauves et varie du brun roux, dans les régions tropicales, au gris jaune, dans les régions arides. Les talents de sprinter et de sauteur du cougar sont bien connus. Ses pattes arrière plus longues que ses pattes avant, qui sont aussi musclées et puissantes, lui permettent de longs sauts et une grande vitesse sur une courte distance.
Le Zoo sauvage dédié aux espèces de la Boréalie est constitué de deux parties. Une partie que l’on visite en se déplaçant dans un train grillagé qui permet de partager l’intimité de près de 1000 animaux vivant dans de grands espaces naturels. Une deuxième partie pédestre plus conventionnelle. L’ensemble du zoo propose une sorte d’intégration à la biodiversité boréale. Les animaux du Zoo sauvage vivent en milieu ouvert, très souvent en cohabitation avec d’autres espèces et dans des habitats qui ressemblent le plus possible à leur milieu naturel.
Here is a fossa, it is a cat-like mammal that is closely related to the mongoose family, although, many people compare it to a small cougar. It is a carnivore endemic to Madagascar, and is currently considered in a vulnerable state.
This particular animal was relatively calm around people it seemed due to it being a frequent visitor to the bush camps garbage dump.
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..
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.

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.
