The mountain lion is also known as the cougar, puma, panther, and catamount, and is the largest wild cat in North America. Its fur is beige and it has a white belly. Young mountain lions have spots, but adults do not. Mountain lions have powerful limbs and can leap as high as 15 feet and as far as 40 feet. It weighs between 65-180 pounds, depending on if it is female or male, and what part of the world it is located in. They can grow up to 6 feet in length.
There are many different subspecies of pumas in North & South America. Pumas once boasted the most extensive range of any land mammal in the Western Hemisphere. From the southern tip of Chile to as far north as the Yukon, pumas once inhabited both North and South America from the Atlantic to the Pacific. At this time, the only documented eastern pumas in the wild exist in south Florida where they are known as the Florida Panther. The remaining documented eastern pumas are found in sanctuaries and captive breeding facilities (http://www.wildliferehabsanctuary.org)
