Cougars ( Puma concolor ) in The Northwest Territories and Wood Buffalo National Park
@article{Gau2001CougarsP, title={Cougars ( Puma concolor ) in The Northwest Territories and Wood Buffalo National Park}, author={Robert J. Gau and Robert Mulders and T. E. Lamb and Libby Gunn}, journal={Arctic}, year={2001}, volume={54}, pages={185-187} }
Extralimital reports of cougars ( Puma concolor ) at the northern limits of their range are rare. We documented at least 21 individual occurrences of cougars from the Northwest Territories and the Wood Buffalo National Park area between the years 1983 and 2000. Our evidence suggests that, at a minimum, transient cougars are regular visitors to northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories.

In November 2000, a specimen was secured from near Watson Lake, in southeastern Yukon, and whether this specimen, and the numerous sighting records, are indicative of a low-density breeding population in the Yukons, or represent transients, is unknown.

Cougar predation on bighorn sheep in southwestern Alberta during winter
- Biology
- 1997
Cougar predation on bighorn sheep appears to be largely an individual, learned behaviour; most cougars rarely killed sheep, but some preyed heavily upon them.
ADAPTATION OF SOME LARGE NORTH AMERICAN MAMMALS FOR SURVIVAL IN SNOW
- Environmental Science

Wolves (Canis lupus), coyotes (C. latrans), and a wolverine showed similar levels of morpho- logical adaptation to snow, higher than all but two of the ungulates studied; predation appears to have been a factor influencing evolution of ungulate behavior in snow.
