Cougars Are Learning to Coexist With Wolves in Yellowstone by Changing Their Diet

A recent study in Yellowstone National Park reveals that cougars are adapting to coexist with wolves by shifting their diet towards smaller prey, such as deer, to avoid dangerous encounters. Wolves, on the other hand, are increasingly hunting larger prey like bison. This shift in prey choice suggests that coexistence between these apex predators is possible, especially with a diverse prey base and adequate escape terrain for cougars.
