Cougar Cub
Puma concolor (cub)
Cougar cubs are born in sheltered dens among rocks, dense brush, or fallen timber, often with spotted coats that help them stay hidden. They rely on their mother’s milk at first, then begin tasting meat from her kills before learning to stalk small prey. Young cubs spend much of their time hiding quietly while the mother hunts nearby. A notable juvenile trait is their blue-eyed, spotted appearance, which fades as they mature.
