The Cougar or Puma (P. concolor) enjoys a wide variety of names, particularly in the US, but all of them refer to the same species of cat.
The Eastern Puma or Eastern Cougar is a name-concept given to cougars that may live in the mountains and forests of the eastern parts of the United States and possibly Canada.
The Eastern Puma, as such, is somewhat cryptozoological, as there is some debate as to whether any pumas actually survive in these parts of the world, as their normal, accepted range is the western US, the southwestern tip of Canada, and South America.
