An excellent stalk-and-ambush predator, the cougar pursues a wide variety of prey. Primary food sources include ungulates such as deer, elk, moose, and bighorn sheep, as well as domestic cattle, horses and sheep, particularly in the northern part of its range. It will also hunt species as small as insects and rodents. This cat prefers habitats with dense underbrush and rocky areas for stalking, but can also live in open areas. The cougar is territorial and survives at low population densities. Individual territory sizes depend on terrain, vegetation, and abundance of prey. While large, it is not always the apex predator in its range, yielding to the jaguar, gray wolf, American black bear, and grizzly bear. It is reclusive and mostly avoids people. Fatal attacks on humans are rare, but have been trending upward in recent years as more people enter their territory.

So yes.

Usually in North and South America (although they prefer to be called Pumas in the south !)

Hope that answers your question !

To be a good predator you have to catch your prey without them even realising they were being hunted

......just to add that in central America it is usually called the mountain lion.

So, basically we have the same animal spread across two continents with three distinctly different names,

although because of their vast habitat, 7 or 8

thousand miles, no less, there are slight genetic

differences between the Puma, Mountain Lion & Cougar due to evolving in vastly different latitudes over both hemispheres.

The British cougar however, apart from short annual migrations to southern Europe, stays mainly within the confines of the British isles, picking up plenty of cubs on route.
