The only things that eat pumas are vultures, flies, and other scavengers, and they only eat them when they are dead. Pumas are at the top of the consumers and aren't preyed upon by anything except humans.
humans
Bears and other large scavengers eat mountain lions.
Nothing really it could be threatened but not eaten
cougars are at the top of the food chain so not much eats them.
Vultures do, after the cougar dies.
Pumas are a lot like Chuck Norris: People don't eat Pumas, Pumas eat people! They have Avery strong "chase instinct", and will chase humans and kill humans if humans allow their innate fear of this wonderful apex predator to cause them to attempt to run. Pumas are able to easily leap 20 feet from a standing/squatting position, and are able to overtake running deer.

Please see the related link below for more information about this endangered North American species of cat.
Mountain lions have no natural predators. There are no animals that will hunt and kill them for food. They may occasionally clash with other large predators such as wolves or bears, competitors for prey, but these animals generally try to avoid each other. The only animal that regularly kills mountain lions is, sadly, humans.
A bear, a regular lion, an alligator, a shark (given it grew legs, which could happen if you believe Darwin), another mountain lion, a cougar, a puma, a larger mountain lion, any human with a gun and a grill, a Black Panther (no pun intended), maybe....just maybe....a great dane, pitbull, a great dane and pitbull mix, a boa constrictor, an anaconda, chuck Norris, randy savage, Arnold schawshiginer....whatever, Rambo, bear grylls, and nothing else. That's it....next question.
Well, if a puma is dead (Old age, infection, etc) an animal might eat the carcass. Probaly a scavenger like the crow. Or maybe if an animal is REALLY desarate, it may try to attack a sick or old puma. And other pumas may eat pumas if they are in search of met and they cannot find any. I hope this helped :P
Bears, wolves and other lions sometimes will prey on cougars but they really have no natural predators.
