  • Mountain lions can weigh about 200 pounds and are about 8 feet in length (including tail).
  • To find a mate, the male scratches bare spots on the ground. If the female finds the scratches acceptable, they pair up.
  • The male leaves before his kittens are born, which is good because he will eat them if given the chance.
