Question:
Are mountain lions found in the temperate forest?

Replies:
Mountain lions, also known as cougars once ranged across almost all of North and South America, including temperate forests of the eastern and central U.S. They are probably extirpated from the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains except for a small number in Florida, but may be found in temperate forests in the western U.S.
