EDiF2018 - PNW “F” #9 - FELIS CONCOLOR

The Pacific Northwest has a complicated relationship with wolves, coyotes and cougars. On the one hand, the wild “dogs” (coyotes and wolves) and “cats” (cougars), help to keep the deer, elk, and rabbit population under control. On the other hand, they tend to eat calves, sheep and pet cats and dogs. Tough call, no matter which side of the ecological fence you come down on.
Felis Concolor: common name, Cougar, Puma, Catamount
Fells catus Domesticus: common names - You Little Beezum; Sadie, Sadie Bearded Lady; and Maeow Thai See Nom Thon.
