Habitat.
 The cougar has many habitats. One of them is the
deciduous rain forest. They also live in the swamps
of Florida all the way to Canadian forests. The
forest of Canada is cold and damp. They live in the
forest because there is lots of trees so it can stalk its
prey and hide. They also live in desserts and
grassland. They like to live in desserts because its
hot and the cougar need it to be hot because their
thin lair of skin. The cougar used to Rome all over
North America now there is less roaming around
due to loss of habitat. The cougar is endangered
because loss of habitat. Now there is less in their
regular habitat.

Cool facts.
 There are many cool facts about cougars. One thing is
cougars can purr but can’t roar. The cougar is found in
the rain forest of South and North America. A cougars
tail is 2-3 feet long 60-90 cm which is 3 rulers put
together. The cougar weighs up to 200 pounds. The is
at the top of the food chain which means it has no
predators. Cougars eat up to 10 pounds of meat each
day which is equal to 40 hamburgers. Cougars are
great jumpers , they can leap16 feet which is jumping a
school bus the long way.
Adaptations.
 The cougar has many adaptations here are so me for
example . the cougar has keen eye sight the keen eye
sight helps the cougar spot its prey coming. The
cougar has long retractable claws to help it eat its
food. It also has sensory whiskers to help it smell
danger and food coming. The cougar has long
retractable claws to help it catch and eat food. It also
has a long tail for balance.
HUMANS.
 The cougar is an endangered species because over
hunting by man. Over hunting by man can cause loss of
habitat . I think humans should not be involved in
animals habitats because if all the animals were pushed
out of its habitat all the animals would be separated then
they would not have any thing to eat. Soon they would
die and we would not have any food except for plants.
most of are food comes from animals like eggs , chicken
and pork. The cougar also has been pushed out of its
habitat because of earth quakes.
