Cougar

Children's Literature - Melissa A. Caudill

Cougar country stretches over both North and South America. The big cats are called by different names depending on where they live. They have adapted to both semi-arid and tropical regions. The majority of a cougar's life is spent alone, except while mating or caring for cubs. This book is organized into eight chapters which each highlight a different aspect of cougar life. Their hunting style and prey preferences are described, along with body size and social habits. Colorful, engaging photos accompany the text along with many interesting facts needed to compose a school report. There is a glossary of relevant terms, a further reading list and an index available to aid in obtaining information. This is part of the "Wildcats! of North America Series."
