No matter what you call them - mountain lion, puma, or cougar - they are all the same specie.

No, a mountain lion is not an omnivore. It eats only animal products therefore it is a carnivore.

Cougars are not omnivorous animals. They are carnivorous; meaning they only eat meat. Omnivores eat both meat and plants. Cougars only eat meat.
