A large cougar pictured in a photo circulating on social media was caught by a licensed trapper just south of Meadow Lake, Sask., in late December according to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment.

"It was a male cougar about 186 pounds, (it's) unknown how old the cougar was ... it's quite a large cougar and definitely an adult. It was very healthy," conservation officer Darly Minter said in an interview.

Not all pumas are tawny (red, brown, yellow or orange). See this grey cougar (apparently a Chilean or southwest South American cougar (Puma concolor puma / concolor)) in a zoo, by Chucao, 23rd of November, 2011:

Cougars are the perfect representation that felids don't need a large head to have robust or impressive bodies and that there is not direct correlation between skull length and overall inter species size differences. Reply

Ingo Arndt: " The pumas in Patagonia’s Torres del Paine area can feed on a very good population of guanacos. This sequence shows a female puma hunting a chulengo (young guanaco). "

First time I see this sequence , though it isn't a recent one. But it's spectacular to illustrate the puma's predatory abilities... Reply
