Like many animals, cougars have a shorter lifespan in the wild than they do in captivity. This is likely because they are often hunted by humans, fight with other predators, and often face the threat of starvation. Cougar is a slang term for a woman who seeks romantic or sexual relationships with significantly younger men. [1] [2] Terminology and age [ edit ] Science Fiction Crowsnest, another science fiction magazine, reviewed it with high praise, referring to it as a "Masterwork" with "a suitably fantastic and scary plot around colourful description... with hidden meanings, mysteries and symbols adding to the layers of tension". [13]

This really tends to create a negative picture about these women in our society, and trust me, most cougars are not grandma-looking nor fat 45-year older women who are sexually frustrated.

[24] In Oregon, a healthy population of 5,000 was reported in 2006, exceeding a target of 3,000. [32] California has actively sought to protect the cat and has an estimated population of 4,000 to 6,000. [33] With the increase of human development and infrastructure growth in California, the cougar populations in the state are becoming more isolated from one another. [34] Gao, F.

Many countries in which the cougar lives have prohibited hunting the big cats, but there are some that allow cougar hunting in an effort to manage populations by licensed hunters during early and late hunting seasons.

Cougars are magnificent animals, and although they aren’t currently on the endangered list, there are things we can do to prevent it from ever happening, with the most important being petitioning to have the cougar taken off hunting lists and placed on the list of protected species.
