Over the last week, numerous sightings of cougars have been spotted in the Master Planned Resort area (MPR) of Port Ludlow. Most of these reported sightings have taken place in the North
Bay around Condon Lane. Cougars are shy, elusive, and rarely observed.
But as Washington’s human population grows, and more and more people are recreating outdoors, the chance of observing or encountering cougars have increased.

General information:
* Female cougars normally give birth to their cubs in July and August.
* Like any good mother, they are very protective.
* Cougar kittens can look similar to domestic cats. Always give a cougar or cougar kittens a very wide berth.
If you happen to encounter a cougar:
* Never approach the cougar or offer it food.
* Face the cougar. Talk to it firmly and hold your ground.
* Always leave the animal an escape route.
* Move slowly. Running or rapid movements may trigger an attack.
* Try to appear larger than the cougar.
* If the cougar does not leave the area, be more assertive. Shout, wave hands, throw anything at it that you can.
* If a cougar attacks, fight back. Be aggressive and stay on your feet.
