| １. | Landscape for safety. Remove vegetation that provides cover for cougars. Remove plants that attract wildlife (deer, raccoons, etc.). By attracting them you naturally attract their predator—the cougar.
dz 批注：看来野外出行要带把砍柴刀，力劈所有的可见植物．否则结果不堪设想． |
| | |
| 3. | Don’t feed wildlife. Don’t leave pet food outside. Both may attract pu by attracting their natural prey.
dz 批注：猫粮放在外面 ，puma会来吃么？ |
| | |
| 4. | Keep pets secure. Roaming pets are easy prey for cougars.
dz 批注：当猫遭遇美洲狮－－－＞ 悲剧： 兄弟之间的反目 |
| | |
| 5. | Confine and secure any livestock (especially at night) in pens, sheds, and barns.
dz 批注：pen看清楚了，不是钢笔，是兽拦 ，可是野外出行只带钢笔的啊．
|
| | |
| 6. | Don’t approach a cougar. Most cougars want to avoid humans. Give a cougar the time and space to steer clear of you.
dz 批注：放心 ，虽然可以当宠物，他们还没有招人喜欢到加菲猫的地步。 野生puma ,cougars其实也害羞。 |
| | |
| 7. | Supervise children, especially outdoors between dusk and dawn. Educate them about cougars and other wildlife they might encounter.
dz 批注：thomas会告诉孩子说 野外在夜幕降临，黄昏时分是捕捉puma的最佳时期。 |
| | |
| 8. | Always hike, backpack, and camp in wild areas with a companion. |
| | dz 批注：如果一对情侣出行，野外遇到一对情侣美洲狮，不知道是否会结伴去酒吧，还是晚餐不用争抢了？ |
| 9. | Never run past or from a cougar. This may trigger their instinct to chase. Make eye contact. Stand your ground. Pick up small children without, if possible, turning away or bending over. |
| | dz 批注：见了美洲狮别跑，留下来慢慢聊。 注意眼神的交流，技术性的还在后头， 天煞的一句话：Pick up small children ,without ,if possible ( Impossible!!!!) ,bending over ,
I got two questions : 1. how small can a child be ? 2. how micro can we be ? |
| 10. | Never bend over or crouch down. Doing so causes humans to resemble four-legged prey animals. Crouching down or bending over also makes the neck and back of the head vulnerable. |
| | dz 批注：野外只能站着，坐着会被吃掉。 |
| 11. | If you encounter a cougar, make yourself appear larger, more aggressive. Open your jacket, raise your arms, throw stones, branches, etc., without turning away. Wave raised arms slowly, and speak slowly, firmly, loudly to disrupt and discourage predatory behavior. |
| | dz 批注：所有吓唬人的招数使出来，我觉得有些人先天更有优势，比如说姚明，或者长得比较个性的，老俞，阿牛． |
| 12. | Try to remain standing to protect head and neck and, if attacked, fight back with whatever is at hand (without turning your back)—people have utilized rocks, jackets, garden tools, tree branches, and even bare hands to turn away cougars.
dz 批注：我手头只有两本书：新概念三 和高口听力 ，对付美洲狮够么？
