I did my report on the Eastern cougar which is a very interesting animal. Although the eastern cougar eats a wide range of foods, its favorite is the deer, but it also eats birds, insects, fish, grasses and berries. Cougars stalk and sometimes ambush their prey. They can carry or drag an uneaten portion to cover, where they cover it with leaves and twigs. They will come back when the kill starts to spoil or another kill is made.
The eastern cougars size and weight vary. But this strong animal can jump up to 14 feet. They usually have sandy colored hair and a rather broad skull, inflated nostrils, and their fur is relatively long, their coat shows little contrast between the dorsal and ventral.
Female cougars may have their first litter as early as 20-21 months of age and as late as 36 months of age. The litter size ranges from 1-6 but, 2 or 3 is most common number.
Because they are great wanders, cougars usually do not have fixed dens except during the breeding season. Cougars spend each day in some thick cover, in a cave, under an overhang, or in rock fissures, then move on to some similar site for the next day's rest. Cougars apparently can stand as much cold as a deer, as evidenced by the fact that they occur as for north and at the same or higher elevations as deer.
The eastern cougar that once inhabited almost every terrestrial and forested aquatic habitats from the southern tier of Canadian provinces to the southern tip of South America. There are few, if any, vegetative limits to their habitat.
