What is an average cougar's habitat?

Answer by  case (1261)

A cougar is a predator cat, so this animal will go where the prey is. Most cougars live in forest and have a fairly large territory to roam. Females raising young will make dens for a short while.

It really depends on what kind of cougar you are referring to. Cougars can refer to a variety of cats including pumas, cougars, and mountain lions. These cats can live in a wide variety of habitats from high elevations to the lowlands of Florida. They seem to prefer relatively forested areas, however.
