What does a mountain lion look like in picture?

Answer 1

BE PREPARED FOR LOTSA INFO!!!

The lion has 8 cm long teeth, they are the second biggest feline, the color is usually a light buff to yellowish, readdish, or dark ochraceous, and their stomach is a lighter color to some degree.

Male adult lions weigh about 330-550 pounds (150-250kg) and females 260- 400 pounds. (120-182kg) ( lions in South Africa are 5% heavier than in East Africa)

The length (including head) for males is usually 170-250cm.(5ft 7in.- 8ft. 2in.) and females is 140- 175cm (4ft. 7in.- 5ft. 9in.) The length of their tail may very from 2ft to 4ft, and is black. (except for white lions, those guys are really cool)

The males have manes, which is a bunch of hair stuff that goes from around the face and ears to their shoulders, they can be blond to black and darken over time.

So there you have it! For more info go to wikipedia, that's where I learned most of the stuff I know about lions. ;)

Lion's body is very powerful and it's 60% of weight is counted as muscles. It is a born fighter and the most powerful feline as well. His paw swipe is much more powerful than tigers & have the longest claws among cats (leopards are longest to their own size). Their modern canine size is in between 8-9 cm but ancient lion's fangs could be longer than 12 cm. The same thing to size, ancient lions were even 9.5 feet excluding the tail

As lions are social, they are the most intelligent cats and best fighters, the only cat that moves his head while fighting ( even when the blow wasn't taken) and apart from that, they are known to Dodge their opponent by moving his head . This is why, probably that their swipe is so powerful, they must move their head or have a throwing-away paw with 11.2 or more cm claws on your head.

Although not the strongest animal, a lion is powerful in it's own right. The mane helps with bites, not bites and swipes as it was often known. A lion already completed the swipe problem and now biting. When a big hairy and dirty chunk of mane stucks in your throat, how can you bite anymore?Yes, lions mane does offer him protection but overheats. It doesn't slow down, It is only hair, hair is as light as a feather (maybe lighter) Yes, when a million of them are suck on you, they might slow you down a bit, but it doesn't change the total speed of lions 60-75km/h. Females are lighter than males so they are faster.

The cougar (Puma con color), also known as puma, mountain lion, mountain cat, catamount or panther, depending on the region, is a mammal of the family Felidae, native to the Americas. This large, solitary cat has the greatest range of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere,[3] extending from Yukon in Canada to the southern Andes of South America. An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in every major American habitat type. It is the second heaviest cat in the Western Hemisphere, after the jaguar. Although large, the cougar is most closely related to smaller felines and is closer genetically to the domestic cat than to true lions.

A capable stalk-and-ambush predator, the cougar pursues a wide variety of prey. Primary food sources include ungulates such as deer, elk, moose, and bighorn sheep, as well as domestic cattle, horses and sheep, particularly in the northern part of its range. It will also hunt species as small as insects and rodents. This cat prefers habitats with dense underbrush and rocky areas for stalking, but it can also live in open areas. The cougar is territorial and persists at low population densities. Individual territory sizes depend on terrain, vegetation, and abundance of prey. While it is a large predator, it is not always the dominant species in its range, as when it competes for prey with other predators such as the jaguar, grey wolf, American Black Bear, and the grizzly bear. It is a reclusive cat and usually avoids people. Attacks on humans remain fairly rare, despite a recent increase in frequency.[4]

Because of excessive hunting following the European colonization of the Americas and the continuing human development of cougar habitat, populations have dropped in most parts of its historical range. In particular, the cougar was extirpated in eastern North America in the beginning of the 20th century, except for an isolated sub-population in Florida. However, in recent decades, breeding populations have moved east into the far western parts of the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Transient males have been verified in Minnesota (where one was shot and killed)[5], the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Illinois, where a cougar was shot in the city limits of Chicago [6][7][8] and, in at least one instance, observed as far east as Connecticut.[9][10]
