Can cougars live in a neighborhood?

Answer 1

Cougars are mainly active at night when people are sleeping. Their habits are difficult to observe. They tend to stay away from people. Most cougars live out in the countryside. Still, a few live relatively close to cities. Most do not.

Answer 2

It is not unusual for cougars to enter cities, especially if water and prey are rare in the surrounding area. I live in a large city in the desert southwest and nearly every year we have cougars seen even in highly populated areas of town. Most cougars are temporary visitors and they do not stay in the city permanently.

Answer 3

Cougars live in the wild, they do not move into human neighborhoods. On rare occasion wild animals are known to stray into human cities, but they get removed very quickly if they do.

Answer 4

Cougars do not normally live in neighborhoods of cities but may enter now and then searching for food or water, especially in times of severe drought.
