Mountain lions are carnivores and generally hunt at dawn and dusk. Still, they are active by day in areas undisturbed by man. Like other cats, the mountain lion stalls its prey, sprinting after it if it attempts to flee. Then, pouncing on the animal's back with powerful leap that knocks it to the ground, the mountain lion kills its prey with a single bite to the nape of the neck.
Mountain lions have large hunting territories, and they eat most kinds of animals. Throughout their range, deer is their favorite meal.
