Mountain lion population stable in Texas, study suggests

The mountain lion of Texas is known by many names in the Southwest--cougar, panther, puma.

In California it’s protected. In Arizona and New Mexico, you can hunt this predator but with strict limitations. In Texas, mountain lions can be hunted at will. Still, preliminary results from a four-year-old study suggest the number of Texas mountain lions is stable, and may be growing.
