It’s World Lion Day! Today, we are celebrating America’s Lion: The Mountain Lion
Mountain lions are known by many names, including cougar, puma, catamount, painter, panther, and many more. They are the most wide-ranging cat species in the world and are found as far north as Canada and as far south as Chile.
Mountain lions are highly adaptable to situations and environments, and this adaptability has enabled them to survive across much of their original range in the America’s, despite severe habitat loss and active threats like trophy hunting.
This World Lion Day, join us in celebrating the adaptability and resiliency of America’s Lion, while helping to ensure their continued existence in America’s future: MountainLion.org/Donate
