Elusive giant of Canada’s wilderness.
Across the wilds of western Canada stalks one of the world’s largest cats: the cougar.
Often the only evidence of its presence is a paw print in the mud or tail track in the snow.
Noted for its lithe musculature and a unique metre-long tail, the elusive puma concolor
enjoys one of the greatest ranges of any large wild animal in the Western Hemisphere.
Called the cougar in Canada, the mountain lion in the United States and the puma in South
America, this large tawny cat—about the size of a leopard—stalks regions populated
by deer, its favourite prey.
