Mountain Lion Biology 

They are the most beautiful of the cat family.

I’ve gotten obsessed with these mountain lion videos, I really wasn’t aware of them, I also watch videos about bobcats.

we have to keep these cats alive, these animals make america it's own Africa, with bears wolves coyotes puma gators jaguars in central and south america all the birds of prey we have as well.

These are magnificent animals. Sightings of them used to be almost unheard of, but as humans have encroached on their territory, they are no longer rate. My mother, who would be 101 years old this year, spent over fifty years hiking in the wilderness of California, and never encountered one. In the last fifteen years four people I know encountered them within a radius of 25 km surrounding San Francisco

We need to take care of this Lion!!

Mountain lions in North America can weigh up 250 lbs. It is a very powerful predator. I don't know why it's not considered big. Bobcats, mountain lions, jaguars, ocelots, jaguarundi are all native to America and should be protected. Human encroachment is the problem.

I wouldn't want these cats to disappear either they are a protected species here in CA so thats a good thing I just want them to continue being conservated in more states

World's highest leaper. 15-18 foot jumps from a standstill..can "love" 50-60 times in an hour...has the most diverse vocalizations of most wildcats...has the most names of any animal (world record)... have killed less humans in 100 years than pitbulls in one...is reverenced in native culture and has countless stories in folklore and the reason of skinwalker legends. Phenomenal animal. Please leave them alone.

Thank you for the informative video!

North too ❗ Pennsylvania mountains , Seen one close not personal , perched on a rock at my daughter's bus stop ‼😮 😮 I had to look it up to make sure . Pretty yet sleek..........

As a solo hiker, there is few things I fear more in the world than a mountain lion.

This is stevinskie I like mountain lions they are so fast they can see in the dark and they like to eat deer my dad knows all about mountain lions they can stalk their prey and kill their prey they love to eat and sleep they are really cool to me and it was my first time seeing w mountain lion for the first time at the zoo that was so cool and fun for me😎😎😎

Crossed paths with a cougar on a trail in SW UTAH, he was crossing the trail it was about 25 feet in front of me...a little intimidating...got off the trail into the tree line and stepped quickly out of there.

I live in Upstate NY, 2 hrs drive north of NYC, and we have Mountain Lions in our area. Some speculate that the gov is quietly releasing them in a re-population effort, whereas some of the Mtn Lions appear to be tamed, as if raised by human hand...escaped or dumped pet perhaps ? Whatever the case may be, they are here !

Video Correctly said Mountain lIon children as KITTENS & not CUBS. They are my fav animal.

Saw one while coming back from skating in this drain near a hill.it was about the size of a Rottweiler and had faint stripes. I just looked at me and walked back into the bushes really shook me up.

I love mountain lions, they are my favorite wild animal. That being said ,I think it is hilarious their email address is "mlf"...it would be even funnier if it was mlf@cougar.org

Just call them Pumas. Beautiful felines.

These creatures are utterly magnificent; alas, we don’t have them in New Zealand. I’d love to see one in the wild, but I’d probably wind up as lunch after trying to pet one. 😏

I Went TO Toronto Zoo and I Saw Cougars there.

amazing

I have on different occasions encountered a dark gray,almost black cat of this type. South central tx.

Is this Foundation aktuell 2024????? Because this Video is/was 13 Years ago. GREETINGS FROM GERMANY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Who says you have to go to Africa to see a big 🐈 cat

The Californian Cougar Or Nevada Mountain Lion Is The Largest Subspecies Of Cougar?

There has been a few sightings around Thunder Bay Ontario Finally several years ago one was found expired one in bush in early spring frozen. It is now on display at museum in TBay . jg

The use of "American Lion" in this video may cause a bit of confusion as that name is given to the, now extinct, Panthera atrox. Just sayin'.

why are they considered small cat if cheetah can not roar either? and a puma is much bigger then it, and pumas have been known to get bigger then jaguars or leopards.

3:10 46% of Americans still believe that the Earth was created 6,000 years ago. Oops.

Killing pumas and many other wild cats in any form except self-defence should be seriously punished. Hunting by those stupid men with packs of dogs and rifles should be forbidden, punished even by prison - 3-5 years for 1 puma or bobcat etc in USA! Hunters for me are primitive people and simply barbarians, with complexes. The feel strong shooting strong cat. Let they stand 1 :1 with boxer, karatekas etc. or e.g. me ! The will be taught quickly what "strong men" they are, crying as child not to beat them. Wild cats are endangered - most species of them! There are only 270-300 Syberian Tigers on the whole Earth - due to stupid, cruel hunters!!! I would never shake hands with any hunter! @Rez bird - if you afraid cats so buy fence and don't kill cats which are worth more for me than you.

Sadly, the very same year that this video was made, the eastern mountain Lion went extinct. Yes, EXTINCT. There is only the western mountain lion now.

They're big cats.

Jaguars are the largest native cats in North America, not Mountain Lions/Cougar/Puma...

stopped listening after the feet and inches onslaught . Please use metric system for international audience.

They are G

This is a beautiful cat. A killing machine. I think we should limit our hunts, and let the Mountain Cats take the deer. If they are killing cattle, then we need to have ranchers hunt, but also use "sheep dogs" to protect their herds. Just my opinion.

shame that they are killed a lot in north america

The stupid background "music" was not needed. Who decided that Africa "music" helped that video.

85% of Americans still believe earth was created. oops

Government needs to do more to protect ALL these beautiful amazing Puma 's . Humans need to stop encroaching upon their habitats and sport hunting should be banned and be made punishable by law.

if the mountain lion keeps the deer herds small, who keeps the mountain lions quantity small?? 🤔
