Cougars, puma, mountain lion, catamount, and ghost cat - they go by many names. These silent stalkers of the night are rarely seen and move like ghosts through the habitats they range.   The National Park Service has been studying how mountain lions survive in an urbanized environment like the Santa Monica Mountains National Park. Remote cameras like this one, help scientists better understand the cougars movements, population, and behavior. Those in the vicinity of a ghost cat may feel a presence, a sense that they’re being watched. It’s entirely possible that even if you haven’t seen one of them, they’ve seen you.

It’s hard to believe that our house cats are distant relatives to ghost cats. In honor of National Cat Day, we wanted to share some cat facts, feline adventures, and ways to recreate responsibly with your fluffball. https://www.doi.gov/blog/wild-cats-adventure-felines  Photo by NPS.
