If you have never had the pleasure of viewing on of these great cats in the wild now you can have one watching over your house. Whether you call them a cougar, mountain lion, or puma their mysterious yet and often misunderstood habits have frighten many. While they seem so warm and cuddly they are a formidable stalker and hunter. This charcoal drawing of a cougar in a tree depicts their more gentle side which is more common then the ferocious hunter that they truly are.
The mountain lion lives only in the western hemisphere, ranging from northern British Columbia to the southern tip of South America. It is North America’s biggest cat. Mountain lions have been reported in South Dakota since, at least, the Custer expedition of 1874, when members of the expedition saw a lion near the head of Castle Creek in the Black Hills and found signs of their presence on several occasions.
Mountain lions sit on the top of the food chain and are capable of preying on anything within their territories. Their natural enemies include other large predators, such as bears and wolves. They also fall victim to accidents, disease, other lions, vehicles and people. When the pioneers settled out West, large predators were viewed as a threat to their livelihood and were aggressively persecuted through unregulated hunting and trapping for many years.
