The big cats that can weigh more than 150 pounds (68 kg) live in diverse habitats across the state, including inland forests, coastal chaparral, foothills and mountains. It's not uncommon to spot a cougar near a trail, at a park or even in a backyard while they're out hunting prey such as deer, raccoons, coyotes and occasionally pets.
Since 1890, there have been fewer than 50 confirmed attacks on people in California, and only six ended in deaths, according to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife.
