Summary

Many people dream of going to Africa on safari and seeing the majestic lions that live there, but North America has its very own big cats. The mountain lion, or cougar, lives mainly in the American West, where it uses its intelligence and fine senses to hunt its prey and raise its young. The Mountain Lion examines the fascinating history and life cycle of the cougar, showing how it has managed to survive against incredible environmental odds.
