No, they are carnivores and prey on other animals. They are like a giant house cat. Scientific name, Felis Concolor.
Cougars, which along with Mountain lions and other local names, represent the same species, namely the Puma. These big cats will eat vegetation if necessary, but they are mainly carnivores.
