A Big Small Cat: Weighing in between 150 and 230 pounds the cougar is larger than some "big cats," but is probably more closely related to smaller cats.
By Any Other Name: This buff-colored feline, also known as the puma, panther or mountain lion, is highly adaptable and at home in tropical rain forests, high mountains, conifer forests and deserts.
Diverse Diet: A variety of small mammals such as mice, rats and rabbits make up the cougar's menu, but sheep, moose and other livestock may also find themselves on the dinner table.
