My parents just saw one next to our house in Creston, MT. I don't know whether it was a Mountain lion or a Panther or a Jaguar but it was a huge black cat. And no, it wasn't a baby housecat either. It was a very BIG boy!
2nd Answerer says: Yes, but Mountain lions may be up to nine feet long, from nose to tail-tip. What your parents MAY have seen was a black Lynx or black Bobcat. This is not unusual. Keep pets and small children close when out-of-doors.
Probably the black bear.
It depends on who is bigger. If the black bear happened to kill the lion, the black bear would get badly injured.
Only in extreme circumstances would a tiger or the lion would attack the black bear. A tiger or a lion is both capable of killing a black bear, but it would take a long time to do so. However, a black bear is more likely to kill a lion or a tiger, but would get serious injuries (to kill the lion) or a long time ( to kill the tiger) while doing so.
No, but a mountain lion may kill a llama.
Black Bear, Wolf, Grizzly Bear, Mountain Lion, Moose, Wolverine, Humans.
Enemies of the grizzly bear are primarily other grizzly bears, wolverines and human hunters and poachers.
In this scenario, the lioness and the lion are not enemies. This depends on if the black bear attacked the lion first or the lion attacked the black bear first. However, a lioness would not be attacked by the lion, but would get attacked by the black bear. The lion can kill a black bear without much trouble, but if the black bear is large enough, it might have a chance to win the fight with the lion. If the black bear attacked the lion, the black bear would win the fight, but would get badly injured. This leaves the lioness being able to kill the injured black bear with ease.
Mountain lions are generally the apex predator in their habitats but occasionally will have a confrontation with a black bear, a grizzly bear, a wolf pack or a jaguar.
A lion could easily escape a bear, and a lion would not be easy for a bear to kill.
Nothing. In that instance he is top preditor and the cat won't bother him.
Yes. Black bears have a serious aggressive behavior and can even kill tigers.
No, a mountain lion is considerably smaller than an Asian lion.
