What would happen if the Cougar was extinct?

Answer 1

Being near the top of the food chain, extinction of the coyote could cause an increase in rodent populations.

Answer 2

Most certainly prey species would increase dramatically, but the puma is not an endangered species.

Answer 3

the animals that the cougar eat will become over populated and the food chain will corrupt

Answer 4

Answer 6

As a species, no.
