It was easy to tell when a cougar was in the neighborhood, by the peculiar grunts and snorts of the bears, and the sharp, distinct, alarmed yelps of coyotes.

A lion would just as lief kill a coyote as any other animal and he would devour it, too.

As to the fighting of cougars and grizzlies, that was a mooted question, with the credit on the side of the former.
The story of the doings of cougars, as told in the snow, was intensely fascinating and tragic! How they stalked deer and elk, crept to within springing distance, then crouched flat to leap, was as easy to read as if it had been told in print.

The leaps and bounds were beyond belief.
The longest leap on a level measured eighteen and one-half feet.

Jones trailed a half-grown cougar, which in turn was trailing a big elk.
