Cougar Attacks

Throughout the years, there have been instances of conflict between people and cougars, with the ferocious animal making a permanent impact on those with whom the animal encounters. Cougars go by several different names, depending upon the region in which you live. Mountain lion, puma, panther, painter, and catamount are all common names for cougars, the largest and most fearsome of the six wild cats living in the United States and the second-largest cat in the western hemisphere after the jaguar.
