Found primarily in the mountainous regions of the Americas, these solitary predators prefer densely wooded areas but can adapt to various environments from forests to deserts. Despite their wide range, mountain lions are elusive and predominantly nocturnal, making sightings rare and special. They play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystems by controlling the population of herbivores. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensuring their survival, as habitat loss and human encroachment pose significant threats to their populations.
