The Cougar (Puma concolor), also known as the Puma, Mountain Lion,
or Panther, is a mammal of the Felidae family, native to the Americas.
This large, solitary cat has the greatest range of any terrestrial mammal
in the Western Hemisphere other than humans, extending from Yukon
in Canada to the southern Andes of South America. An adaptable,
generalist species, the Cougar is found in every major New World
habitat type. It is the second heaviest cat in the New World, after the
Jaguar, and the fourth heaviest in the world, after the Tiger, Lion, and
Jaguar, although it is most closely related to smaller felines.
