| First record of consumption of olive ridley sea turtle by a cougar | |
| 2016 Cat News (64): 04-05 | |
Knowledge on the ecological relationship between cougars _Puma concolor _and sea turtles may contribute to the conservation of cougars, whose bulk of terrestrial prey continues to decline throughout their range due to poaching. This work describes for the first time the consumption of olive ridley sea turtle _Lepidochelys olivacea_ by a cougar. This event occurred at Santa Rosa National Park, Costa Rica. |
