Mountain Lions
Have ever heard of a mountain lion? Well if you haven’t, there are other names that you might have heard of instead, but they all mean the same thing. A couple names are cougar, panther, catamount, or pumas. They are the largest cats in North America! Mountain lions try to avoid people, if they can. This great creature was hunted to near extinction, but now is coming back. There have been sightings of them near the eastern part of North America. Their prey is mostly deer, but they also eat porcupines, raccoons, birds, small mammals, foxes, mice, and grass. A solitary male lion can weigh up to 200 pounds. They need use at least 175 of its own territory. When you find a kill made by a lion, don’t hang around it. They could still be around their prey.
