Natural History of the Mountain Lion (Cougar)
Did you know that mountain lions eat porcupine in addition to deer, skunk, badger, rabbits and many other animals?
Mountain lions are obligate carnivores - meaning their diet consists primarily of meat.
Puma, Mountain Lion and Ghost Cat are just a couple of names for the cougar.
The cougar's primary identifying physical characteristics are a tawny grey-brown or red-brown coat and a long tail.
