It’s a cat of many names that’s commonly known as the puma, panther, catamount or mountain lion. Its coat is tan or tawny and it has a round face and erect ears. Mountain lions are slender and agile felines with bodies built for great leaping and short sprints. They have large paws and proportionately the largest hind legs of all felines. The North American mountain lion has a long and heavy tail. Aside from the North American cougar there are five other mountain lion subspecies all of which are solely found in Latin America. 4: Man helps his Wife with Cougar An unnamed 60-year-old woman encountered a mountain lion while she was gardening in the back yard of her mountain cabin on the remote Flores Island, in Clayoquot Sound, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The animal saw the woman in a crouched position. Her husband reacted quickly and grabbed a boar spear until it loosened its grip and ran away. The mountain lion has the largest span of any wild animal in the Americas and may be found from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast and from the northern Yukon to the Southern Andes in Chile. Highly adaptable this is the reason for such a wide distribution. It inhabits various environments from wooded forests and snowy mountains to arid lowlands, swamps or coastal areas. Mountain lions are usually solitary and territorial animals. Only the mothers and her kittens live in small groups. Mountain lions are nocturnal and generalist predators meaning that they will eat any animal they catch from insects to large ungulates such as elk and moose. They aren’t typically classified among the big cats as they can’t roar instead communicating through low-pitched growls, purrs and hisses comparable to those of domestic cats. 3: Heroic Bear While roaming the woods of north-central California, 69-year-old Robert Biggs encountered a black bear mother and her cubs. The man spent some time observing them from 40 feet away before continuing his trek. Then Biggs saw a blur on his left side. In an incredible turn of events, the black bear he’d been watching earlier grabbed the cougar by the throat and ripped its grip off Biggs’ backpack. The two tussled for another 15 seconds, but the bear won the battle, outweighing the feline by at least 300 pounds. The cougar fled into the woods and Biggs returned home. Mountains lions typically shy away from human encounters. Aside from being roughly the size of an adult human, it has a slender body with strong, muscular limbs. They are also highly athletic animals capable of vertical leaps of up to 15 feet and short sprints around 50 miles an hour
