It is thought that cougars are women who are between 35 and 55 years of age and are at least 8 years older than their male partners. The cougar holds the Guinness record for the animal with the greatest number of names, with over 40 in English alone. [7] "Puma" is the common name used in Latin America and most parts of Europe. The term puma is also sometimes used in the United States. [8] [9] [10] [11] The first use of puma in English dates to 1777, introduced from Spanish from the Quechua language. [12] In the western United States and Canada, it is also called "mountain lion", a name first used in writing in 1858. [13] Other names include "panther" (although it does not belong to the genus Panthera) and "catamount" (meaning "cat of the mountains"). [14] Taxonomy and evolution

[21] One reason that cougars have so many names is that they’re found in nearly every ecosystem stretching from North America to South America. From rugged mountains to thriving forests, mountain lions can be found lurking in the shadows. It is not something you will come across often, but it happens, so not all of these women could be considered cougars. Cougar Management Plan". Wildlife Division: Wildlife Management Plans.

Cougars usually hunt by stalking their prey before springing on them. Sometimes, it’s necessary for them to jump great distances from their hiding spot to where the prey is sleeping or grazing. Intensive hunting following European colonization of the Americas and ongoing human development into cougar habitat has caused populations to decline in most parts of its historical range. In particular, the eastern cougar population is considered to be mostly locally extinct in eastern North America since the early 20th century, with the exception of the isolated Florida panther subpopulation. The family Felidae is believed to have originated in Asia about 11 million years ago ( Mya). Taxonomic research on felids remains partial, and much of what is known about their evolutionary history is based on mitochondrial DNA analysis.

The Inca city of Cusco is reported to have been designed in the shape of a cougar, and the animal also gave its name to both Inca regions and people. The Moche people represented the cougar often in their ceramics. [126] The sky and thunder god of the Inca, Viracocha, has been associated with the animal.
