No! A Mountain lion cannot jump 23 feet into the air, but it can however jump 23 feet forward. Do you know how f***ing scary that would be? I mean, 23 feet, That's like 4 of me (I stand 6 foot 3 ) minus a foot. Do you think if a mountain lion could jump 23 feet into the air we would still be alive? We'd be filet mignon. If such a species exists, we just dropped a notch on the food chain.

almost anything
Cougars used to live in Louisiana, but were wiped out by habitat loss and hunting quite a while ago. This is also the case in most other states east of the Rocky Mountains (except Texas and Florida).

They are also called cubs.
A Black Panther can be either a melanistic (black) leopard or a melanistic jaguar.
Cougars are mainly active at night when people are sleeping. Their habits are difficult to observe. They tend to stay away from people. Most cougars live out in the countryside. Still, a few live relatively close to cities. Most do not.
