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.
