A cougar biologist with Washington state once received a complaint. An old lady called him up and said, \u201cThere\u2019s a cougar in my backyard.\u201d And the biologist responded, \u201cWell, that\u2019s funny because I got a call this morning from a cougar. He told me there\u2019s an old lady in his front yard!\u201d
Our backyards are getting bigger. And the cougar\u2019s front yard is getting smaller. This episode, we search out some of these big cats to understand the impact cougars and humans have on each other.
