Description

A mountain lion photograph by Wildlife Fine Art. The Mountain Lions rear legs are slightly longer than the front legs which enables cougars to leap easily both vertically and horizontally.There head is relatively small, compared to other wild felines. Cougars can leap about 7 to 8 feet from sitting still up to 16 feet straight up when in motion.
They tend not to jump this high due to the fact it takes so much energy , this ability helps them escape from cavernous traps. A 20 plus foot jump across is no problem.Their large paws provide it with a strong foothold, which is essential for a powerful takeoff. The paws also have a considerable amount of fur around the pads, which muffles sound and allows the cougar to run and jump almost silently.
The mountain lion (Felis concolor), also called the cougar,
is the largest member of the cat family living in Yellowstone National Park.
There is a difference in the structure of the voice box or the larynx, because of which the Cougars can't roar.
They produce a high pitched scream. This shrill scream has earned them a place in American folklore.
Mountain lions eat porcupine in addition to deer, skunk, badger, rabbits and many other animals. Mountain lions are solitary animals tend to live in remote country. This cat hunts their prey by stealth and ambush. In the state of Montana there has been an increase in lion kills due to the presence of wolves. Biologists have found that wolves will often chase a lion off its kill and consume it. Thus, the lion is forced to make more kills than usual. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks call this "predation compounding." The current mountain lion population of Yellowstone is thought to be approximately 20-30 animals.
Facts- Young mountain lions have spots all over them and blue eyes. They are covered with
blackish brown spots and have dark rings around their tails. The markings fade as they mature.
The cougar (Puma concolor), also known as the puma, mountain lion, panther, or catamount, is a largest cat of the family Felidae native to the Americas.
The cougar is an apex predator whose strong jaws, large claws and exemplary stalking abilities
make its preferred prey some of the largest in American elk, deer and moose. When forced to,
by weather or scarcity, the cougar will take smaller prey. The female cougar will also teach
her young on smaller prey, allowing them to hunt with her from when they are 6 months old to about the age of 1 for males, 2 for females.
