Mountain Lion
Mountain Lion (Felis Concolor)
How do you like being stalked? How do you like being tracked? DO NOT attempt to track, challenge or capture a cougar without professional assistance. It can mean the difference between life and death.
The mountain lion (felis concolor), also known as the cougar or puma, ranks among the most illusive and discussed of all of Oklahoma’s wildlife species.
The mountain lion (cougar, puma, catamount, panther) is the largest cat native to North America. The head is relatively small, and the face is short and rounded. The neck and body are elongate and narrow. The legs are very muscular and the hind legs are considerably longer than the forelegs. The tail is long, cylindrical, and well haired. The pelage of the mountain lion varies considerably. There are two major color phases — red and gray. The red phase varies from buff, cinnamon, and tawny to a very reddish color, while the gray phase varies from silvery gray to bluish and slate gray, often
mistaken for black in low lighting conditions, thus causing a mis-identification of the species to be a Black Panther. The sides of the muzzle are black. The upper lip, chin, and throat are whitish. The tail is the same color as the body, except for the tip, which is dark brown or black. The young are yellowish brown with irregular rows of black spots. Male mountain lions are usually considerably larger than females. Adults range from 72 to 90 inches (183 to 229 cm) in total length including the tail, which is 30 to 36 inches (76 to 91 cm) long. They weigh from 80 to 200 pounds (36 to 91 kg). The mountain lion’s skull has 30 teeth. Female mountain lions have 8 mammae.
