Cougar, puma, mountain lion, panther, catamount are all
names for the same North American cat (Felis concolor).
A large male left this footprint at Pine Butte Nature
Preserve, Montana in August of 1996. The footprint
was made by the front foot in soft mud. Male tracks
are normally wide but the soft mud caused the toes
to spread even further. This animal weighed
about 145 lbs.
Cast measures 5 3/4" long and 5 3/4" wide
