They are all the same. The only difference is that certain localities have different names. For example, Florida calls them panthers. In South Dakota, we called them Mountain Lions. Here in California, they are usually called Cougars. I forget where they are called Pumas, perhaps in Canada.

No it is not. In fact cougar and mountain lion are two different names for the same animal. In Central and South America it is known as the puma. And there is also a supsecies in Florida that is called the Florida panther. It is a cat with multiple names.
