Cougars - of the genuine feline type

Indeed - it wouldn't worry me as much if they were more like bears. Bears don't tend to stalk people. You can get attacked if you come upon one and don't know how to act, but if you are noisy enough you'll probably never even see one. With cougars I doubt very much that until they pounce on you, that you even know they are near.....

I hadn't really given it much thought until recently - they caught that cougar in Discovery park, there was a cougar attack on a boy (though that was in a much more remote area) and there really was a sighting near Microsoft...
