No. The mountain lion is a completely different species. Also called cougar, puma, or catamount, it is an animal of the Americas, whereas the true lion is an African and Asian animal. The mountain lion is Felis Concolor, and the lion is Panthera Leo, totally different branches of the cat family. Lions are in the genus Panthera, along with tigers, leopards and jaguars, and pumas are in the genus Felis, which includes the smaller cats.
