I am like an 8 year-old every time Rowdy Cat comes out on the ice in a side by side at the CN Centre before every PG Cougars home game! Great mascot! Go Cougars Go!!

If you have IsiMan84's exciting view from behind the #Cougars' cheering section for 1 of #Houston's remaining men's games you'll see K-State, followed by Arizona, Colorado, & Baylor huddle infront of you.

While it's Colorado, TCU, & USF playing from the visitor's bench across for the women's games. #Basketball

RE: https://mastodon.social/@sflorg/115967607765332592

A very impressive #scientific paper by W. Binder et al. (2026) shows that #cougars and #wolves in #Yellowstone National Park #influence each other's life #strategies. It's about #apex- apex #carnivore dynamics and #kleptoparasitism. The risk of wolves stealing pumas' prey has led pumas to #specialize in #smallanimals that can be caught quickly, thus reducing the likelihood of encountering wolves.
