How have cougars adapted to the Mediterranean biome?

Cougars have adapted to the Mediterranean biome by developing a flexible diet that includes a variety of prey, such as deer and smaller mammals, which are abundant in these regions. Their solitary nature allows them to thrive in the varied landscapes of the biome, from mountainous areas to dense shrublands. Additionally, their keen senses and stealthy hunting techniques enable them to navigate and hunt effectively in the diverse habitats found within the Mediterranean environment.
