Investigations at Yellowstone National Park showed that elk, followed by mule deer, were the cougar's primary
targets; the prey base is shared with the park's wolves, with which the cougar competes for resources. A study on
winter kills from November to April in Alberta showed that ungulates accounted for greater than 99% of the cougar
diet. Learned, individual prey recognition was observed, as some cougars rarely killed bighorn sheep, while others
relied heavily on the species.
