Cougar SnapshotThe cougar (Puma concolor) is the largest of the three wild cats in Canada and is a formidable hunter. They are also known as mountain lions, pumas and panthers. They are strict carnivores that primarily feed on deer and their distribution hence aligns strongly with our two deer species. These cats are light brown in colour and are quickly identified by their compact head and a long heavy tail which is about one-third the length of their body and has a black tip.Cougars account for approximately 2,500 calls to the Conservation Officer Service reporting line every year, however many reported cougar sightings turn out to be animals other than cougars. Cougar attacks are very rare, but if you encounter a cougar, keep calm and never run. Make yourself look as large as possible and back away slowly, keeping the cougar in view, and allowing a clear exit for the cougar. If attacked, always fight back and never “play dead”. If travelling with small children, pick them up immediately. Children are most at risk in a cougar encounter and they should be taught how to behave appropriately (see "Children and Cougars" in "Safety") to stay safe. To report cougars in conflict, sightings in urban areas, or a cougar showing unusual or aggressive behaviour, call the Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-7277.
