Cougars, pumas, and mountain lions are all names for the same animal. They can leap over 20 feet and have various vocalizations besides roaring such as howling, growling, and screaming. While cougar cubs are born with blue eyes, adult cougars now only live in the western United States where they hunt for prey. Males are larger than females, with males weighing up to 200 pounds compared to less than 100 pounds for some females.
