This cat has a lot of names including the tease in the title, Mountain Screamer. That one is a bit archaic, but you likely know it as Puma, Cougar, Catamount, Panther, or Mt. Lion depending on what part of the country that you live in. There are a ton more, in fact the Cougar holds the Guiness World Record for the most names for a single species.
During my PAW workshop we were able to get some great images of this cougar in a controlled environment. The action was terrific and watching it leap 20 feet or so earns this cat some respect!
Enjoy the images and feel free to contribute more names….
