Cougars don't eat vegitation. That cougar jumped the bicycle riders, because they looked good to eat. They are cats you know. They get excited and like to jump things that move and are smaller than them.
Then we should shoot more herbivores and allow the vegetation to recover, I guess.
BTW, cougars who are old and losing their ability to compete with other cougars for food (deer, etc.) are usually the ones that attack people.
Coyotes have also been known to hunt children. I read of one scenario in which a homeowner fended off a coyote who was attacking her child in the backyard one afternoon. A well known characteristic of coyotes is their ability to 'lock in' on a target. Well, in the case of the homeowner, for the next couple of weeks the coyote kept coming back at the exact same time every day looking for the kid.
BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Cougars are some of the most cunning and efficient hunters in the animal habitat. Cougars are quite common in the U.S. They hunt small rodents, birds and smaller animals such as deer and elk. Cougars are not spotted very often due to their stealthy hunting skills. Cougars can be aggressive IF they are protecting their young or are extremely hungry.
