As vulnerable felines are quickly losing their habitats in the wild, wild mountain lions, also known as pumas or cougars, have opted for some peculiar sleeping spots.
脆弱的猫科动物正在迅速失去野外栖息地，因此野生美洲狮选择了一些特殊的睡眠地点。
In a recent study, released by the Teton Cougar Project, researcher Anna Kusler writes, "We know surprisingly little about the sleeping habits of large predators, especially cryptic carnivores like puma."
提顿美洲狮项目最近发布的研究中，研究者安娜·库斯鲁写道，“我们对大型食肉动物的睡眠习性知之甚少，尤其是像美洲狮这样的神秘食肉动物。”
Pumas face more dangers in their natural habitats than most might realize and to avoid danger, they search for hidden bed sites where it would be hard for a competitor to see them.
美洲狮在自然栖息地中面临着许多危险，比大多数人意识到的还要多。为了躲避危险，它们会寻找隐蔽的地方休息，这样竞争对手很难看到它们。”
