By nature, cougars prefer to avoid contact with humans at all costs.In fact, upon seeing one cougars usually run. At the same time, cougars have a curiosity not unlike that of house cats. The possibility of triggering this curiosity should reinforce the necessity of taking caution when living or hanging around in cougar country. Understanding the behavior of these animals can greatly minimize the potential of coming into contact with one of nature’s greatest predators. Fears can be eased with a better understanding of these environments.<ref>[http://www.cougarfund.org/living/behavior/ Understanding Cougar Behavior] ‘'cougarfund''. Date of access may 29 2014. Author Unknown</ref>rogue male cougars often travel hundreds of miles before finding a available area that is unoccupied by another cougar. rogue cougars are particularly at risk of coming into conflict with resident cougars and with human interests. Resident male cougars will attempt to scare off and even kill in defense of their home ranges. a large percentage of cougar attacks on livestock (and people) are by one- to two-year old cougars.<ref>[http://westernwildlife.org/cougar-outreach-project/biology-behavior/ Cougar Biology & Behavior] ‘’western wildlife outreach''.
