Field notes
What to look for
A big tawny cat with a small head, a long thick tail with a dark tip and a pale belly. Adults 35 to 80 kg and up to 2.5 m nose to tail.
Where
Foothills and mountain forests, following deer; occasionally in river valleys and the Cypress Hills.
When
Year-round, mostly at night; most sightings are brief road crossings or trail-camera captures.
Tips
Nothing else in Alberta is a plain tawny cat with a tail that long. Also called mountain lion or puma. Never run if you meet one.
