No. First of all, cougars grow up to 7.5 feet long, and weigh up to 260 pounds. They also have a long tail.
Bobcats grow up to four feet long, and can weigh approximately forty pounds. Bob cats have a naturally bobbed tail (Hence the name Bob Cat).

∙ 13y agoNo, the bobcat (Lynx rufus) and panther (Puma concolor) are entirely different species. The adult bobcat at around 20 to 30 pounds is much smaller than a 100 to 250 pound panther. 'Panther' is one synonym for the cat known as the 'mountain lion' in North America. Other names for the mountain lion are painter, cougar and puma. There are Asian and African panthers, too.
