Loading ...Cougar Facts
Let’s start with the cougar, widely known by many names including puma, mountain lion, panther, and catamount. In fact, the cougar holds the Guinness World Record for the animal with the highest number of common names!
The cougar is a large terrestrial mammal native to the Americas, ranging from the Canadian Yukon all the way down to the southern Andes in South America. It is the second-heaviest cat in the New World, sitting just behind the jaguar. Despite its massive size, its biology is actually much closer to smaller domestic cats than to roaring big cats like lions or tigers.
Cougars are solitary, highly elusive ambush predators. Their diet primarily consists of large ungulates like elk, deer, bighorn sheep, and occasionally moose calves, but they will also prey on livestock such as cattle and horses, as well as smaller rodents. Cougars actively avoid areas heavily populated by people, and unprovoked attacks on humans are exceedingly rare.
Unfortunately, due to rapid habitat loss and human expansion, it has become increasingly difficult for cougars to survive in some of their historical ranges. Historically, they were divided into 32 subspecies, though modern genetics have consolidated them into just six. You can find their complete physical characteristics in the comparison section below.
Gray Wolf Facts
The gray wolf, also known as the timber wolf or western wolf, is the largest living wild member of the canine family. They are found across vast regions of North America and Eurasia. An adult gray wolf typically weighs around 43-45 kg (though some northern males can grow much larger) and boasts a thick, bushy winter coat that can range in color from gray and brown to pure white or pitch black.
Wolves are legendary for their pack-hunting lifestyle, which allows them to take down prey much larger than themselves. They display highly complex and expressive social behaviors. Because they frequently prey on livestock when wild game is scarce, their greatest threats have always been human retaliation and habitat loss (as well as larger predators like tigers in Asia).
The gray wolf is one of the most well-researched animals in the world, with countless books and studies dedicated to its behavior. It is famously the direct wild ancestor of the domestic dog, deeply tying its history to human civilization.
Because they overlap with so many other predators, wolves frequently clash with other species. For instance, you might also find it interesting to see who would win a fight between a Gray wolf vs. Wolverine!
Compare Cougar vs Gray wolf / Puma vs Gray wolf
The detailed comparison between the Cougar (Puma) and the Gray wolf is given below.
| Animals | Gray wolf | Cougar (Puma) |
| Kingdom | Animalia | Animalia |
| Family | Canidae | Felidae |
| Genus | Canis | Puma |
| Average Length | 105-160 cm (Body) | 150-275 cm (Including tail) |
| Average Tail | 29-50 cm | 63-95 cm |
| Average Height | 80-85 cm | 60-90 cm |
| Class | Mammalia | Mammalia |
| Area | North America, Eurasia | North, Central, and South America |
| Order | Carnivora | Carnivora |
| Habitat | Grasslands, tundras, forests, and deserts | Mountains, forests, deserts, and dense brush |
| Teeth | Heavy and large for crushing bone | Muscular jaws and long canines for fatal neck bites |
| Force | 3 (average) | 4 (very good) |
| Technique | 3 (average) | 5 (excellent) |
| Stamina | 5 (excellent) | 3 (average) |
| Weight | 40-50 kg | 53-72 Kg (Adult Males) |
| Intelligence | 5 (excellent) | 4 (very good) |
| Average Life Span | 6-13 years | 8-13 years |
How We Grade the Fighters: Scores are out of 5 and based strictly on one-on-one combat capability. Force goes to the cougar (4) due to its heavier muscular build and grappling strength compared to the lighter wolf (3). Technique heavily favors the cougar (5), a master grappler equipped with retractable claws and a lethal ambush bite, whereas a lone wolf (3) relies mostly on slashing bites. Stamina is where the gray wolf (5) shines, built for running miles without tiring, while the cougar (3) is a short-burst sprinter. Finally, Intelligence scores a 5 for the wolf due to its incredibly complex pack coordination, while the solitary cougar earns a respectable 4 for its calculated ambush strategies.
Who will win the fight?
The biggest question is who would actually win in a fight between a gray wolf and a cougar in the wild.
If we are talking about a strict one-on-one battle, it is very safe to say that the cougar (puma) would win the fight. The cougar is heavier, possesses highly flexible forelimbs for grappling, and uses razor-sharp retractable claws that the wolf simply does not have. A lone wolf is not built for wrestling; it is built to bite and run. In recorded videos and wild encounters where a solitary wolf and a cougar clash, the cougar almost always dominates the fight.
However, wolves rarely fight alone. If the cougar were to run into an entire wolf pack, the tables would instantly turn, and the mountain lion would be forced to retreat up a tree or risk being killed. But pound-for-pound, in a solo matchup, the cougar is the undeniable victor.

How is it that in this forum you have the Cougar and Puma being the same animal, but in another forum [ https://www.compareanimal.com/2014/07/compare-puma-vs-cougar.html#comment-1744 ] you are comparing a cougar and a puma? They are the same animal.
Cougar wins 6/10 times in a one on one fight with a wolf.
“…wins 6/10 times in a 1-on-1 fight…”
What a pointless data-less, incorrect, post..
If by a 1-on-1 match Klendathu, you mean a prime ‘Alpha’ male wolf
VS a territory boss ‘Tom’ cougar, then just as in any fight between healthy,
fairly equal sized wild felines against dog species, the cat will, quite predictably, win…
By K.O…
Simply far too much weaponry/speed/power for the precious pup – alone – to contend with..
nice investiagtion man
And the cougar a’int winning by “KO”. The cougar would win, but the wolf will put up a good fight – wolves are on record of taking down bison solo.
You couldn’t be more wrong. A full grown male cougar at 140 plus against the biggest male wolf, would take down the wolf to the ground in 1 second. It would tear it to underside shreds with it’s back feet while biting into the wolf’s neck. The wolf wouldn’t be able to bite at that point and having no claws to speak of the fights over. It’s just a matter of time for the 1 1/2-2″ canines of the cougar to sever the spinal cord or puncture the artery of the wolf. No fight whatsoever as far as the cougar is concerned.
Of course cougar wins.
You guys are dumb. The biggest things cougars kill is deer, lone wolves have taken down half ton moose alone. Wolves have a much stronger bite force than cougars. They are both same in size about. Wolves have Way mores stamina than cougars. Felines in general. They are both probably the same strength. They both have a 50/50 chance. You are really underestimating wolves.
You can’t be that ignorant, can you? It wouldn’t even be a fight. It would actually sad. The wolf would have no chance and would know it. As far as a moose. No a wolf can’t kill a full grown moose. In fact a moose won’t even run from a lone wolf. It would dare it to try something. A moose would kill the wolf so fast it would make you head spin. A cougar has more bite force than a wolf and plenty of stamina because the fight will be over in less than a minute.
It is not fair to pit lone wolves against cougars. The wolves win if there are two or more. Cougar takes a shortcut across an open field. Wolf, sleeping uphill, catches scent and runs to meet him. Cougar engages, wolf dodges in and out. Cougar is definitely winning, but then another wolf comes. Cat’s still doing good, fending them off, but guess what? Then another wolf comes, and another. Cougar gets more and more tired, wolves get more and more nips in. One wolf grabs cougar by the tail, cat whips around to meet him. Second wolf grabs him behind the neck, cougar turns to get him off. But then each wolf grabs something, a leg or a patch of flesh, and start pulling in different directions. One on one, cougar victory, one on pack, wolves scatter kitty all over the field.
Totally different scenario. Cat wins one on one.
Wolf dodge in and out. The cat is much quicker and would kill the lone wolf in less than 30 seconds. One or two wolves are not going to mess with a full grown male cougar. They wouldn’t dare. Even if they could kill it they’d both be wounded to the point of starving.
You gave a wolf a 4 in stamina and gave the cougar a 5? Hahaha do have no idea what your talking about.
Hes a proffesional he knows what he is talking about dumbass
That was really the only error I saw in that myself!
Wolves can kill puma by their intelligence
Shamas Hakari,
Funny/stupid comment!
Wolf uses teeth, not mind control..
& larger cats – such as a big tom cougar,
are simply far too powerful, viciously armed &
dangerously quick – for a lone wolf to cope with..
Eurasian lynx will brutally deal to lone wolf – just as adeptly, too..
James W,
Sorry to burst your bubble, but a Eurasian lynx will not be able to take down a wolf.
That being said, I would give this fight to the cougar because they are both the same size and strength, but the cougar is more agile and better armed.
Apey,
best you stop blowing bubbles..
& do some study..
FYI, Eurasian lynx in the ‘old world’
– take the same role as the cougar does
in the Americas..
Eurasian lynx can get big.. & the big ones ,
(up to ~50kg) fear no wolf, in 1-on-1 combat.
James W,
Well if you do some research, you will learn that Eurasian Lynxs don’t cross 70 pounds on average…
That being said, 50 kg (~110 pounds) do exist, but that is still not as big as a wolf. A grey wolf can easily weigh between 150 and 175 pounds and they have much stronger jaws.
Theoretically, a Eurasian Lynx might be able to kill a wolf, but it unlikely.
AP,
review some research on jaw morphology.
Dog species have long multipurpose jaws,
with many teeth & which allow sideways movements for chewing.
These jaws are not “stronger” than a cat of similar size, since their
shorter, more rigidly articulated & triangulated jaw allows more force
to be applied at the canines for a specifically applied.. killing bite.
Wild dogs typically kill by application of numerous ‘snapping’ bites
which cause multiple cumulative injuries.
But a lone wolf won’t have this option – against a similar sized cat..
A cougar (or large Eurasian lynx) going ‘head-to-head’ with a wolf,
uses its powerful fast-twitch musculature, & dynamic body-agility with
characteristic cat-species speed & accuracy – to grasp, then manipulate
the long-muzzled dog bauplan – quickly getting in & under for a fatal throat-bite
lock on the canid.. & so.. predictably, its its game over, for ‘the lone wolf’- in fact.
A grey wolf only needs one bite with 1,200lb to 2,000lb of bite force if the bite hits the back game over or neck really any place vital check out bite force and compare with other animals do research before talking you will look at wolves differently I promise
James W,
I have done my research and I agree with you – at similar sizes, cats have a stronger bite than dogs.
However, here is the issue – even the largest Eurasian Lynx is not as big as a grey wolf – as I mentioned in my previous post. Therefore, the wolf’s bite is stronger.
But a cougar would beat a wolf.
AP,
you are incorrect,
& on basic principles..
A large Euro-lynx’s bite on the wolf’s throat will kill it,
those long canines will penetrate deeply into the essential
structures of the canid’s neck, such as support cadio-pulmonary
function, & primary central nervous system pathways.
Such a lynx can/will use its fast, powerful paw strikes to fend off the
wolf’s jaw-snapping attempts, while it positions itself expertly
for a rapid neck-bite, a ‘blitz-attack’ of surgical intensity,
same as it does to the deer, which form its prey,
& which are often much larger & stronger – than any one wolf..
James W,
What you described is a fight between a cougar and a wolf, not a lynx and a wolf.
The lynx could indeed kill the wolf with a throat bite – but that is unlikely because the wolf’s sheer strength would overpower the lynx (even a 50 kg lynx)
The deer analogy does not work because lynx usually ambush them, and deer don’t have much to fight back with except their legs. The wolf, on the other hand, has its legs and jaws to fight back.
In order for this scenario be probable, the lynx would need to be fighting a smaller species or wolf, or it would need an element of surprise.
One on one against a grey wolf, the wolf would win almost every time.
To put things into perspective, 20+ wolves can take down a tiger. I don’t think 20+ lynxs would have a lot of success with that…
Also, you present valid points, but I think you are underestimating the wolf’s bite. While one bite from a lynx to a wolf’s neck could kill it, one bite from a wolf to a lynx could kill the lynx too.
AP,
Lynx do not form prides,
& tigers actively persecute wolves,
which fear them on that basis.. pack, or no.
& as I noted, lynx’s combined weaponry outmatches
that of the wolf, as does its attack profile – for a kill bite.
Also, a lone wolf is generally a much more anxious animal,
than a lynx, which is by habit, a solo hunter.
In a one-on-one situation, the wolf is at serious disadvantage.
James W,
Yes, it is true that lynxs don’t form prides and that tigers regularily persecute wolves. I was just using that as an analogy.
And, yes, a lynx does have better weaponry than a wolf, but at the same time, the lynx is at a serious size and strength disadvantage. The lynx will not be able to get to wolf’s neck fast enough because, like I mentioned in my previous post, the wolf would overpower it with it’s sheer strength advantage. Therefore, the lynx would need multiple bites and paw swipes to kill the wolf, whereas as one bite from the wolf would instantly kill the lynx. Now, at similar sizes and strength, the lynx would win, but the wolf is simply too powerful for a lone lynx to take down.
A lynx fighting a grey wolf is like a house cat fighting a German Shepard. The house cat can indeed do a lot of damage, but one bite from the dog would kill it on the spot.
AP,
you are again, incorrect..
If you need verification, check the research..
( easily done if you do a subject search on ‘Carnivora Forum’).
Also.. learn the essential diifernce between the ‘Canadian’,
& ‘Eurasian’ lynx species, likely, you have got them conflated..
No way is your ludicrous ‘G-S dog versus domestic pet cat’ deal, in any way realistic.
A large & adept male Euro-lynx will have no problem dealing to any lone wolf,
by using exactly the same method a cougar does, which is in fact, wildcat S.O.P.
James W,
I did my research, and I learned that the Eurasian Lynx is larger and stronger than a Canadian lynx. But AFTER doing research, I still found out that even the largest lynx is not as big or as strong as a wolf.
James, you need to understand that the turning point in this fight is the wolf’s strength. It would never let the lynx get to it’s neck – not to mention that the wolf has better stamina.
AP,
do some more..
& cite your evidence of ‘strength’ factors
in favour of the wolf. It simlpy cannot contend with
a lynx of similar size in a one-on-one combat.
Wolf stamina is for distance running, it is not applicable to combat for
a lone wolf – when a large lynx has a secure bite-hold on to his throat,
choking the life out of him, teeth going deeper, with every movement attempt..
& with the cat’s meat-hook claws firmly latched on, the wolf sure aint gonna be
running anywhere.. ever again..
Ask yourself why even small cats can make a living in the wild, mostly alone,
but even the largest wild dogs are only successful – when operating in numbers.
Interesting observation, James, that “EVEN THE LARGEST” wild dogs are “ONLY” successful “when operating in numbers.”
This implies that “they” (ALL other wild dogs, since ALL other wild dogs are smaller than Wolves) are clearly doomed (since “even the largest” wild dogs survive ONLY by virtue of their numbers).
Yet “even the SMALLEST” wild dogs (coyotes and foxes) somehow manage to survive- and quite well at that- despite the fact that they are usually solitary. According to your reasoning, Foxes and Coyotes shouldn’t exist at all.
Clearly, your theory is wrong.
Thanks for playing.
James W,
I can cite some links in the next post if you like, but common sense should tell you that a 150-175 lb wolf which can take down bison in packs, is probably going to be stronger than a 70 lb lynx which needs to ambush a mere deer in order to kill it…
To quote you, “It simlpy cannot contend with a lynx of similar size in a one-on-one combat.” You are missing the point James. There in no wild lynx in this world as large as a grey wolf – even a 50 kg (~110 lbs) lynx is dwarfed by a small grey wolf.
As for the running vs combat thing, there might be some truth to that, but keep in mind that wolves can run long distances because they have good lungs – something very useful in combat…
To be fair, cats can live alone because they ambush their prey, unlike dogs, which do frontal attacks – so they operate in groups.
Oh no!
Not “common sense”,
you are getting awfully Aka/like now, Apey..
You really are wrong, just google ‘Eurasian lynx & wolf encounter’
& see the images.. the cat sure aint “dwarfed” by any means.
Check out the size of the ‘pet’ lynx kept as ‘housecats’ by Russians
on youtube, on one such clip the paw spread is ~human hand sized..
Further, the lynx would love to have a reindeer just walk out & attempt to go head-to-head..
Lynx have to carefully stalk & ambush deer, due to the fact.. that they run away!
( & a lone wolf would be wise to do so too, if the cat is in an ornery mood)..
How did your “common sense” – not grasp that?
Check this out.

James W,
Can you please try to post the link again? It was not working when I clicked on it.
I know right? Oh no! Common sense??!! My grandma used to say that common sense is the most uncommon thing…
Anyways, I did search up lynx and grey wolf on google, and I can promise you that wolf was a hell a lot larger than the lynx. Plus, James, how can you not comprehend this? A lynx is 24 inches tall at the shoulder and weights 70 lbs. A grey wolf is 32 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs between 150 and 175 lbs. Clearly the wolf is much larger.
About pet lynxs, they can get that big, but it is pretty uncommon… Lynxs are huge compared to normal house cats, but not compared to grey wolves…
And, on another note, how am I like Aka/Tony? I don’t recall cursing- even when you make ludicrous claims…
One more thing:
The lynx would prefer the deer come face to face because it does not have enough stamina to chase it long enough…
Unlike wolves, who can run long distances to catch their prey – this a result of having stronger lungs – something very useful in combat.
AP,
You are right….
A wolf would get destroyed by a Lynx…
AP,
E-lynx range in size up to ~100lbs,
& some wolf sub-species are smaller than that.
Wolf does not have “stronger” lungs, it has a bauplan
which requires a lot of running, since it lacks the ability
to secretively stalk, then ‘blitz attack’ & grapple-control,
with a killing bite application, which is the cat S.O.P…
Having legs & lungs predicated for long distance runs,
will not be “very useful in combat” for the wolf, when the
lynx has it by the throat, & held in position with meat-hook claws.
The cited link works for me, but you can find it on google scholar,too.
“Wolf does not have “stronger” lungs, it has a bauplan
which requires a lot of running, since it lacks the ability
to secretively stalk, then ‘blitz attack’ & grapple-control,
with a killing bite application, which is the cat S.O.P…”
Wolves are more than capable of grappling… and their lungs, while used more for long distance runs, will indeed be handy in combat… And the lynx is NOT going to have the element of surprise, since this is a face to face encounter…
APU..
try..
& comprehend..
what ‘grappling’ means..
Can a wolf effectively climb a tree..
No.. because it cannot ‘grapple’ – its way up..
& in a face-to-face encounter, the wolf
is also at a disadvantage.. it cannot paw strike,
reach out & claw grab – to ‘grapple’.. but cats do..
And, I am using a grey/arctic/timber wolf for this fight, NOT smaller species like arabian/ethopian wolves…
APU,
so what?
A large (~100lb) lynx
will still deal to any single wolf..
& the wolf knows it.. even if you don’t..
L.O.L…
Most people seriously underestimate the power of lynx’s my great grandpa has a farm up in the Adirondack mountains and he had a problem with a lynx that was killing his cows so he had to go hunt it he now has it stuffed above his fireplace in his cabin. But then again wolfs tend to be stronger than lynx’s.
Yappy yap,
You fatuously incompetent fool.. a prime pride boss male lion would destroy both..
James I never mentioned lions
Yap,
Damn kid.. just when it seems like you have reached the arse end of stupidity..
Go on Youtube and see that vid of a lion swimming to Russia and killing a pack of 100 wolves..
Looks like them wolves need to learn that lion hearted a’int just a sayin..
Oh and don’t forget the sayings like strong as a bear, tough as a bear, big as a bear, hairy as a bear, and brave as a bear.
Yappy Yap,
Wow.. now you reveal your love for them fat-as dumpster divers..
Go and sleep with your buddy APU..
L.O.L..
Iap,
Dude, don’t listen to Lames. He is a troll. He accuses me of scamming, when in reality, he is writing bullshit under his own name..
As for this fight, I would say cougar>wolf>lynx.
Wow everyone should know dogs beat cats everything being equal .and no way a 100 lb lynx beats 175 lb wolf.
Exactly.
the wolf and cougar beat each other 50/50
Yeah, it could go either way – but if I had to, I would put my money on the cougar – mainly due to the size, strength, and weaponary advantage.
I put my money on the wolf cause it has more endurance a protective cover of fur on its neck and jaws
Here is the problem though – that is the only advantage the wolf has. Generally speaking, at similar sizes, felines dominate canines. And contrary to popular belief – felines do have the stamina to fight for long periods of time. There are many cases of big cats fighting for hours with prey like buffalo.
The wolf might have the endurance and protective coat – but the cougar has size, muscle mass (aka strength), weaponary (jaws with sharper and thicker canines and sharp claws), and aggression.
cats have terrible stamina they can not “fight” for hours. wolves may not be as fast as some cats but they can run over
25 miles without getting tired
wolves don´t only have the endurance and protective coat on their bodies they also have jaws that can crunch through a bisons femur bone and they also have intelligence
Yeah a grey wolf would beat a cougar. Dogs if they were the size of a lion would most likely kill one too. Cats do have a bad stamina compared to wolfs and bears not saying that they have bad stamina it’s just that wolves and bears have one of the best endurance out of all carnivores. Cats don’t have the best stamina because they are ambush predators you don’t see them running nearly as far as a wolf. The only big cat that could try and fight a buffalo for a long time would be a lion that’s because they hunt in groups and would take turns.
I’m a person,
You are wrong on basic principles. A 400 lb dog stands absolutely no chance against a 400 lb lion or tiger. Take the Turkish Kangal, for example. They are the world’s most powerful dog and have the strongest bite force of any extant dog. Yet, a 200 lb Turkish Kangal would get slaughtered by a 200 lb leopard – thats why owners put spike collars around their dog’s neck to give them even half a chance of winning against wolf animals.
*wild animals.
Iap,
One more thing: The larger canids get, the clumsier their bauplan gets. On the other hand, the larger felines get, everything, including strenght, agility, bite force, canine strenght, etc. scales up.
A dog the same size of a lion would very slow, clumsy, sluggish, not agile, etc. This immediately means a win for the lion.

As like I explained to Jake, felines having bad stamina is a misconception. The reason why cats are ambush predators is because they hunt solo, unlike canids, who operate in groups. Feline can and have jogged long distances for miles.
And FYI: Big cats can and have done frontal attacks on buffalo – some of which take hours, proving that they do have the endurance to fight for long periods of time.
Jake,
You are incorrect. Felines having bad stamina is a misconception. People automatically assume that just because felines can’t sprint for long distances, they have poor stamina. What people fail to realize, is that even wolves and hyenas CAN’T sprint full speed for long distances. Wolves can trot slowly for long distances, BUT, so can big cats. Lions and tigers, for example, can slowly patrol their territory – which can be over a 100 miles long.
ap
you are incorrect. felines have one of the worst stamina of all animals. also wolves can run for miles
also wolves have stronger bites than cougars
Jake..
No. Try and comprehend. Felines have been documented slowly jogging for miles. Wolves can also do that. No animal can run full speed for miles. See that Youtube video where a tiger fights with a bull gaur for hours and eventually wins.
Let me address bite force now. The wolf might have heavier pressure jaws, but their jaws are made to chew bone – as a result, their teeth are blunt.
The cougar’s teeth are meant for killing. The cougar has longer and thicker canines, which are designed to penetrate through the tough hide of animals and strike a vital organ. Not to mention that the cougar has a larger saggital crest on its skull which gives it a more powerful bite at the canines.
One more thing Jake, intelligence means nothing in this fight. And I doubt wolves are above cougars in combat intelligence – only in problem solving.
If a alpha male wolf and a territory boss male tom cougar get into a fight, 6-7/10 times the cougar will win via KO.
Jake..
No. Try and comprehend. Felines have been documented slowly jogging for miles. Wolves can also do that. No animal can run full speed for miles. See that Youtube video where a tiger fights with a bull gaur for hours and eventually wins.
ap
whatever wolves have stamina leagues above big cats. also even us humans can jog slowly for miles.
the wolf has a protective covering of fur meaning the cougar will have a hard time getting to the wolves neck or badly injure the wolf
while the wolf has jaws that can bite through a bisons leg bone so yes
in my opinion the wolf wins 6/10
also the only times a cougar has beaten a wolf in a fight is by ambushing it
Jeeze kid..
Do you never learn?
’bout time you revised your flawed “opinion”. Wolf’s stamina will do nothing for him – the cougar can fight for hours too – you know.
You think the wolf’s fur is armor? L.O.L.. Cougar’s can penetrate the hide of moose – it would find it a luxury to penetrate the wolf’s fur.
And you conveniently ignored what I said about bite force.
The cougar wins via KO – just too much strength, power, size, and weaponary for the precious pup to deal with, eh kid? L.O.L…
Finn..
Aww.. No response yet? I whipped you bad – in the “African lion vs Nile crocodile” thread – didn’t I? L.O.L…
& of course, you will go nuts & start spewing perverted crap – instead of formulating a coherent argument to back up your points – since all the facts, unequivocally, prove you wrong… L.O.L…
“I whipped you bad- in the African lion vs nile crocodile thread – didn’t I? L.O.L…
no you did not James. w
“since all the facts, unequivocally, prove you wrong…L.O.L…
what facts the ones you pull out of your fantasies
Jake..
Jeeze kid, you is a pig headed ignomarus..
I dun got no fantasies sonny boy – but you kid, jest keep fantasizin about yo scaly buggers..L.O.L…
a cougar can not fight for hours cats don´t have the stamina to do that
cougars rarely go after moose
a wolves jaws can bite through a bisons leg bones
in my opinion the wolf wins
“a cougar can not fight for hours cats don´t have the stamina to do that”
Wrong.
“cougars rarely go after moose”
Wrong again.
“a wolves jaws can bite through a bisons leg bones”
So can a cougar’s.
“in my opinion the wolf wins”
“Opinion” does not count in the scientific method – only facts, which you have failed to provide.
I think this will be a close one. Considering everything. An alpha male wolf at its peak is very territorial, has a very thick shaggy coat, to withstand all forest elements and is a very strong animal it’s stamina is quite long is a survivor, strong hunter. (Able to take down prey double or more it’s own size/weight) has a very strong jaw and will fight to the death. A cougar on the other hand is very strong is flexible with sharper claws has a lot ofstamina and is abit faster. how ever if a wolf locks it’s jaws onto the cougars neck it may be in a lot of trouble however if a cougar slashes a wolfs ribs, it could wind it badly then killing it.bith and both never back down from a fight I beleive it would be a close one.
Wow, y’all are entertaining. I say cougar wins due to speed, power and weapons. Those claws and teeth win the day – and quickly.
quickly is just overrating the cat wolf have a coat that makes the claws will doesent destroy the wolf the wolf teeth is way to stronger and the wolf is same stronger also wolf is more resistant also is more inteligent and have more skill and stamina
the cougar will win but not with k.o biggest wolf hunted in alberta was 230 pounds and also wolf are stronger if you dont believe me see muscles sizes and also wolf have way more stamina resistance inteligence skill and bite
