Cougars, also known as mountain lions or pumas, is the largest cat in the state. Along with bears, they are the apex predators and are capable of bringing down a deer or elk. However, they are more apt to dine on rabbits or hares.
These cats aren’t often seen but it isn’t because there are so few of them. Rather, they are somewhat shy of humans and they have coloration that allows them to blend in so well with their surroundings that a person is often not even aware of the cougar, though it might be less than 100 feet away.
