i see that there are deer in this area, so my question isn't coherent. i was curious as to what an urban cougar would eat in the absence of a stable deer population...
Griffith Park Trail Cam
+deathtokoalas well, they only exist where there are deer. But, he has also been recorded eating raccoons and coyotes....but mostly deer.

+Griffith Park Trail Cam would it be correct to assume that raccoons and coyotes would be an insufficient diet, should the deer begin to disappear, or, more to the point, the cougar were to wander too far into town to be able to hunt deer?
Griffith Park Trail Cam
+deathtokoalas probably...they need a lot of protein to keep going. The mule deer population is rather large where he is so no fears of him exhausting it anytime too soon. But, there also has been little to no research on how many deer reside in Griffith Park and surrounding Hollywood Hills. I will say the population is growing (got baby deer video - check my history).
