*** About Mountain Lions: Mountain lions, also known as cougars or pumas, are among the most adaptable and widespread predators in the Americas. They inhabit a vast range from the Canadian Yukon to the southern Andes in South America, making them the most widespread large wild terrestrial mammals in the Western Hemisphere. Despite their wide range, mountain lions are generally solitary and elusive, avoiding direct human contact. They primarily hunt deer, though their diet can be diverse, including smaller mammals and birds. Conservation efforts are crucial as their habitat faces increasing fragmentation due to human activities. Mountain lions play a vital role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystems by controlling deer populations and preventing overgrazing.
