*** About Mountain Lions: Mountain lions, also known as cougars or pumas, are one of North America's most elusive and powerful predators. Primarily found in the mountainous regions from the Canadian Yukon to the southern Andes of South America, these solitary animals are adept at climbing and can leap up to 18 feet vertically. Mountain lions are territorial and prefer to avoid humans, largely hunting deer, though their diet can be quite varied depending on their habitat. Conservation efforts continue to play a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance between mountain lions and human-populated areas, ensuring the survival of these magnificent animals in the wild.
