"The
Phantom Cat""
COUGAR
"The
Phantom Cat""
"Who's the crazy author of this website?"
My major is Biology with a concentration in Biomedical Science. I was required to make this website that you are viewing for my Organismal biology class. I chose the cougar for my research project because I
really love big cats-NOT house cats.
Usually,
I don’t mind housecats but since I have had so many bad experiences with
them (hissing, scratching, biting, hiding from you and not wanting to be pet
etc…) I don’t think I will ever want to own one. Therefore, I tend not to refer
to myself as a “cat” person domestically speaking. However, I do really
love other species of felids such as tigers, jaguars, leopards and of course
cougars.
My favorite animal is the
exotic Snow Leopard (Unica Unica) and
I wanted to do my project on this organism, but sadly someone else had already
chosen that for themselves.
Anyhow…
I really spent a lot of time on this website so I hope you enjoy it. All
of the information presented is information that I have found to be up-to-date
before publishing the website. Since science is truly always changing, new
information may have been discovered (especially pertaining to classification of
cougars) since the publication of the site. I hope you find the website useful
and interesting. Finally, I really
appreciate all of the fine men and women who allowed me to use their
photographs.
So here’s a special
