Cougars also kill horses, both domestic and feral which can also be dangerous prey and probably near the size range of elk. I read of one event where a big grizzly attacked a horse and it ended up with the horse killing the bear. In the same book, I believe it is in 'Man Meets Grizzly' by F.M.Young ( I have several ), it states that some horses know how to fight and some do not. Those that do can often fend off predators. I also remember reading that probably, during the Pleistocene, American horses were likely preyed upon by cougars and hunting them may be instinctive to the big cat.
