Mountain Lion

Also known as the cougar, puma, and catamount, the mountain lion is a type of large cat found all throughout South America, Central America, and North America. Interestingly, the mountain lion is more closely related to the domestic cat than it is any large cat found in Africa or Asia.

• Scientific Name: Puma concolor
• Characteristics: Although mountain lions have no known predator, they often compete with bears and wolves for food. With that in mind, we’re sure this hand painted figurine would appreciate a spot on your desk or nightstand as well as a meal to itself!
