A friend had two sheep killed recently, he has seen a set of eyes at night with a light. He said they were blueish in color.
Could they have been a cougar?
-
In my extremely limited one time moment of panic while spotlighting one the eyes were green/yellow
-
yellow as far as I know
-
I haven't seen enough to be at all certain with cougars, but I do know that multiple deer in a field at night can show different colors of eye shine from white to yellowish/greenish to reddish.
-
Greenish/blue
-
Probably depends what kind of light you shine at em. :dunno:
Are you using an old school mag light.
Fancy LED light.
-
Shine your light at your or your neighbors cat. Same thing.
-
Orange

At 45:30 in this interview, the hiker said he saw multiple cougars at night while hiking the PCT and their eyes glowed red.
-
The one I hit with a flashlight as It was following me into my elk hunting spot reflected yellow. Might be different with LED versus other wavelengths. My light was old school
-
Cougars are generally yellow to red, deer and elk white/ blue ish. this can vary with any animal with quite a few factors. I’ve seen 3 or 4 cougars in the dark, they were all very orange eye color and I could verify they were indeed cougars.
-
African Lion's eyes are yellow in a spotlight so I'd imagine that Mountain Lion's are too.

Here’s a neat chart.

If I’m that close to a big cat, I’m not memorizing his/her eye color….. it’s bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, click, click, sounds of reloading, bang…. :chuckle:
-
Juvenile cats have blue eyes
-
It depends on the angle the light is hitting it.
