Best Answer

No. Their intestines ore too short to efficiently process plant matter so they are obligate carnivores.
== == Actually it is very rare for lions to eat plants but, when no food is found they eat plants. They are cats and like any cat they will eat certain plants if they are feeling sick, but as the above poster said this is not a common occurrence.

Educated answer by Louise Salter;

Pumas' (Mountain Lions, Cougars) appear to love grass such as crabgrass (wheat grass), which plays an important part in the Pumas' diet to help digest other food and possibly induces vomiting on an empty stomach to remedy illness, as well as being an environmental enrichment.

Nowhere do I see fish as part of the diet of mountain lions. If they eat fish it must be a rare and unusual occurrence.
