Do you have a photo of a cougar in the wild?

The cougar is both a powerfully beautiful creature and an elusive one. The mysterious nature of the cougar has made it challenging for scientists, conservationists, and cougar lovers to take photographs of cougars in the wild.

We encourage anyone who has photographs of cougars in the wild to submit them to us. If you have a photograph you are willing to share, please email us.
