Panther can be a general term for any kind of large cat, but it usually refers to the Black Panther that lives in South America, which is closely related to jaguars and leopards. Cougars, mountain lions and pumas, are synonyms for the same animal and are related to the other cats, but not the same animal.

In short, cougars are a type of panther.
