Talk:Cougar

Range is bigger than written here

There is a need to fix the map and work more on the fact that the cougars have re populated eastern america. Although no dead body or picture of such animal has been made, there have been DNA samples collected from Lynx mating sites in Québec that confirmed the presence of cougar in the center-east part of the province, notably the Appalachian mountains. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.110.144.106 (talk) 16:33, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Not only is the range wrong, but the claim that the cougar has more range than the coyote is false. The coyote has the biggest range of any mammal period, and that is well documented. Excluding humans, of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.188.154.180 (talk) 13:57, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Er, no. The cougar is distributed in both South and North America, the coyote only in North America. There are several mammals with larger ranges than the coyote: the brown bear, house mouse, brown rat, and wolf, to name a few. Ucucha 14:07, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, the range is a loy bigger then they say, because there's a lot of catamounts running around in new york. Especially in the Adirondacks, and around Albany... One time people had to come relocate a cat that decided to build its home under my porch.

Raised importance rating

[1] An attempt is made to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.[2]SriMesh | talk 03:44, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation

Any thoughts as to how/whether to provide disambiguation with the current popular use of the term Cougar as a euphemism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_disparity_in_sexual_relationships)? Somersetlevels (talk) 22:13, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
