They way cougars tend to get their food is, they sneak up on there prey, and as soon as the cougar starts to focus on its prey, very quietly, it gets a little closer, and if the prey looks behind its self, the cougar attacks!! But if it does not look behind its self, the cougar waits, then, right then and there, the cougar attacks the prey. (And eaither way the cougar will attack!!)

Stealth- their fur blends into the background, they move quietly. Speed- they can pounce and run with great speed. Claws- they can grab and hold prey. Teeth- BIG teeth.
