What is being done to save cougars?
have a population of a mere 100 individuals, whereas in western americ there are around about 30,000 individuals. We as a race have been asked to slow our progress among habitated areas of America and to put a stop to hunting cougars and slow down the hunting of white-tailed deers in cougar territory. We have also been told that although we have a natural instinct to fear arge cats, we must manage to hold our ground against an attack and to not harm the cougar as this will only frustrate it and make it more volatile. We need not fear cougars because they are the most unlikely big cat to attack unless threatened or disturbed when with prey. Also be careful of cougar cubs because mother cougars are very likely to attack if you approach their young.
