The word "Panther", is a generic term for any medium sized big cat, such as the leopard, jaguar, and cougar or mountain lion. Often, the term is used to describe black specimens of the leopard and jaguar. The puma has more names than any other cat, often called cougar, puma, mountain lion, catamount, panther.
