Also known as a mountain lion, puma or panther, this North American big cat is intelligent and curious, known to stalk hunters just to observe their behaviour. In the majority of cases, cougars mean no harm and fade away into the background before a hunter can take notice. But on occasion, when a cougar attacks a human, he usually has no hint of the cat’s presence until it’s on top of him. The primary danger from a cougar is not being charged while hunting – it’s being stalked and attacked before you have time to bring your gun to your shoulder.

Cougars are the fourth largest cat, with adults standing up to 35 inches at the shoulder and adult males reaching 7.9 feet in length. Males typically weigh between 115 and 220 pounds.
