The cougar is the second largest wildcat. It can leap over 40 feet at a time. Although the Cougar is fast it tires quickly. The Cougar's main prey are Porcupines and Deer. If cougar shows up as your animal guide, it means that it is time for you to assert yourself. This is especially true if you have been experiencing many difficulties in your life. This is a sign that the difficult times are coming to and end, but only if you are assertive as well as agressive in your efforts to seize new opportunities.
