Question

Cougars are herbivores

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Cougar:

1. The puma, often known as a mountain lion or panther, is North America's second-largest cat.
2. The cougar, unlike other big cats, cannot roar. On the other hand, the huge cat purrs like a domestic cat.
3. Cougars are opportunistic predators, meaning they consume anything they catch.
4. These can range from small rodents to ungulates the size of a donkey.
5. In general, they hunt mule deer, although they may consume smaller animals such as domestic animals and cattle if necessary.
6. Cougars have even been observed eating insects.
7. Cougars are skilled and crafty predators who keep hidden from their prey until they can pounce with their claws outstretched.
8. Cougars can also climb and leap over 6 meters with ease (20 ft.).
9. After killing a huge animal, a cougar conceals the carcass and consumes it over the next few days.
10. Cougars are also ambushing predators, which means they stalk their victims before striking.

The above statement is a false statement as Cougars are carnivores.
