The grad student that I am working for is trying to see the relationships between human and cougar use, as well as habitat and prey selection.

I'm working on a cougar project and was able to find this male via radio telemetry of the mom. Quite an amazing experience. I feel so privileged to help out with this.

What a beautiful face on that cougar.

How did you find it? Is it radio collared, tracked it in snow? What an honor but does make the hair stand up on the back of my neck!
