Cougars are primarily carnivorous predators, known for hunting and preying on various animals such as deer and smaller mammals. While they are not classified as scavengers, they may occasionally scavenge from carcasses if the opportunity arises, particularly if food is scarce. However, their hunting skills and solitary nature typically lead them to rely more on their predatory behavior than on scavenging.

What kind of symbiotic relationship do cougars have mutualism commensalism or parasitism?
Cougars primarily exhibit a predatory relationship rather than a symbiotic one, as they are apex predators and primarily hunt prey like deer. However, in the context of mutualism, they can indirectly benefit scavengers that feed on their leftovers, creating a form of commensalism. The scavengers gain food without harming the cougar, while the cougar is largely unaffected by their presence. Thus, cougars do not fit neatly into mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism, but their interactions with other species can exhibit elements of commensalism.
