The primary prey of pumas is hoofed mammals, especially deer, that are larger than themselves. In North America, each puma kills about 48 hoofed mammals per year and smaller prey, including rabbits and hares, coyotes, bobcats, porcupines, beavers, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and other pumas. Domestic livestock, especially sheep, goats, and young calves, are also taken.
