The cougar (Puma concolor), also puma, mountain lion, cool cat, or panther, depending on region, is a mammal of the Felidae family, native to the Americas. Close relative to the cheetah and the jaguarundi.

The coyote, Canis latrans, also known as the American jackal, brush wolf or the prairie wolf, is a species of canine found throughout North and Central America, ranging from Panama in the south, north through Mexico, the United States and Canada.


JACKSON HOLE, WYO –
~~~ WARNING, video may be disturbing for some. ~~~
Lindley Nickels caught photo and video of a mountain lion attacking a coyote near the Snake River overlook yesterday. In the photo, the lion can plainly be seen wearing a radio collar device.
A very rare opportunity, indeed. Great job, Lindley, and thanks for the footage.

Never heard the names "cool cat" (except for a cartoon) or "american jackal", before. Judging by the pic and the size of coyotes (because I can't see anything in the video), the puma looks rather small. Reply
