For prey they prefer deer (both white-tailed and mule deer), but will hunt anything from bison, African buffalo, and giraffes to insects, birds, and mice.

As for predators, healthy, mature adults have no enemies outside people, although young, sick, injured, and old mountain lions tend to fall prey to tigers, lions, African wild dogs, dholes, bears, wolves, and other mountain lions.
