Why is the puma referred to as a mountain lion?
Geraldbillingsley580...
The puma is called a mountain lion because it bears superficial resemblance to a lion without a mane, and it lives in the mountains, among other habitats. However, they are not actually lions. In fact, although they are large, they do not belong to Panthera, the genus that includes all true big cats.
