mountain lions
Large wild cats
Mountain lions are large wild cats native to the Americas, ranging from Canadian wilderness to Patagonia.
They're the same animal as cougars, pumas, and panthers—regional names for one species.
Tawny-colored and solitary, they hunt deer and other mammals.
Mountain lion sightings have increased as suburbs encroach on their habitat.
