They can live in many different habitats. usually live most of their lives unobserved by people. are smaller than lions and tigers. They vary in color, but most are brown or tan. Because of their color, cougars resemble female lions. Their color is good camouflage. They can hide from their prey when they hunt for food. have keen senses. For example, they have very good eyesight. They can see their prey from far away. Their eyes take in all available light. They can see well, even at night. They have a good sense of hearing. They can hear sounds coming from all directions. They also have a strong sense of smell. have another way of learning details about the world: they can touch things with their long whiskers. can make several different kinds of sounds. If they see an enemy, cougars hiss and growl. Just like house cats, cougars can meow and purr to show contentment. Unlike lions, however, they cannot roar. Mother cougars protect and teach their kittens. At first, they keep their kittens hidden. They lick the kittens to clean off scents. This keeps other predators from finding them. If an enemy comes near, the mother cougar becomes ferocious. After about a year, though, the kittens mature. Then their mother teaches them to catch their own prey. Soon they can hunt on their own. can live to be ten years old. English Language Learners 25
