Happy National Cougar Day
National Cougar Day is held on June 12th each year and was first established in 2019 to promote the conservation of cougars, their importance as a keystone species, and the threats to their survival.
The cougar is the biggest of all the small cats, with subspecies across the Americas. Its Latin name is Puma concolor, and itβs known in different parts of the world as a puma, panther, and mountain lion.
Cougars are affected by trophy hunting, factory farming, commercial exploitation, and climate change. So, National Cougar Day is the perfect day to learn more about these issues and support cougar conservation efforts.
Have a Great Day π
