  1. RE: mastodon.social/@sflorg/115967

    A very impressive #scientific paper by W. Binder et al. (2026) shows that #cougars and #wolves in #Yellowstone National Park #influence each other's life #strategies. It's about #apex- apex #carnivore dynamics and #kleptoparasitism. The risk of wolves stealing pumas' prey has led pumas to #specialize in #smallanimals that can be caught quickly, thus reducing the likelihood of encountering wolves.

  2. Interactions between #Yellowstone #wolves and #cougars are driven by wolves usurping cougar kills, prompting cougars to adapt by shifting their diet to smaller prey that can be consumed quickly and utilizing escape terrain to avoid fatal encounters.

  3. Like the wolves of Yellowstone, the cougars of Zion National Park:

    The mechanism is the same: absence of cougars enables increased deer populations, leading to deforestation, erosion, and loss of biodiversity – and an uglier natural park.

    And the cause? Increased tourism scares cougars away.

  4. Tomorrow is Cougar Day for me. Found this article while doing some research about the big cat: eopugetsound.org/magazine/swim

  5. I’m counting on Auburn to pull off an upset!

    The men’s Final Four is set — and they’re all No. 1 seeds. Here’s everything to know.

    “Just because there’s no Cinderella doesn’t mean there can’t be a storybook ending.

    In 2025, the crown will go to a No. 1 seed, as all four top dogs — Auburn, Duke, Florida and Houston — advanced to the Final Four for the second time in tournament history. The Blue Devils face the Cougars, while the Tigers take on the Gators, both in San Antonio on April 5.”

  11. Although #cougars are native to #Michigan, most of them now appear to be transient animals, dispersing into MI from Western states. The DNR has verified 132 adult #cougar reports, Roell said, but DNA testing has confirmed only male cougars to date.

    The #CougarCubs have not been spotted since March 6. “Those young cougars are very vulnerable right now,” Roell said. “We don’t know where they are or if they’re even alive. Mother Nature can be very cruel.”

  12. Marissa and Louisa, two adorable cougars, have had a fantastic morning making snow angels! Their joyful purring and chirping have delighted our staff and interns alike. We’re thrilled that you’re enjoying the fun snow day photos and videos of these playful cats in this wintery white stuff. Your feedback means the world to us, and it's wonderful to see so many of you passing these precious moments on to your friends and family!

  16. A nice ride yesterday along the Fox River, before heading over to see the play the .

  17. The #NFL No Fun League strikes again.
    usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/
    First off the #Oilers uniforms belong in #Houston NOT #Tennessee because it’s the #HoustonOilers
    Second, the #Cougars are in fact in Houston and should be able to wear whatever color scheme they want.
    Finally, the #Adams family in general and #BudAdamas in particular, are shitheads for taking the #Oilers the name not the team out of Houston. At least when the #Browns left for #Baltimore they left the name behind. Not so for Oilers.

  18. The #PAC12 is updating their official theme song to be “Older Women” by Ronnie McDowell - because the only teams left in the division are the #Cougars & #Beavers .
