Wildlife managers and
citizen activists alike will find this book useful. It collects
current cougar research into a set of guidelines for managing these
secretive and increasingly rare big cats. Full of charts and
figures, the book explores topics such as habitat, predator-prey
relationships, and ways to minimize cougar-human conflict.
Interesting facts: Cougars are good swimmers, and sport hunting has
so far failed to either benefit their prey species or decrease cat
attacks on humans.
