The cougar

The cougar (Puma concolor), also known as the mountain lion, puma, panther, mountain cat,[3] or catamount, is a large cat of the family Felidae native to the Americas. Its range, from the Canadian Yukon to the southern Andes of South America, is the greatest of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere.[4] An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in most American habitat types. It is the second heaviest cat in the Western Hemisphere, after the jaguar. Solitary by nature and nocturnal,[5] the cougar is most closely related to smaller felines and is nearer genetically to the domestic cat than true lions.-Wikipedia
