Did you know that cougars have extraordinary vision? Cougars can open their pupil to an area three times larger than humans. This increases light gathering ability and enhances night vision. Cougars are both nocturnal and crepuscular (active during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk). As a result their eyes are suited to hunting both in daylight and at night.

Learn more about cougars 12:30 pm Wednesday, January 11th at the Jackson Hole & Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center.  Marilyn Cuthill Teton Cougar Project coordinator will be giving a special hour long presentation to share information about cougars and the Teton Cougar Project. Please join us! Thanks to the National Elk Refuge for hosting. For more information please click here.
