cougar or panther
In general I want to say panther, but depending on where I see one it could be a mountain lion or a cougar.
It's a mountain lion
Really? Huh, I thought panther would be a more rare answer...
I usually go with mountain lion or cougar, but puma sometimes as well although that's just for sheer variety
That thing is too fierce to be a puma, a puma is an overgrown cat, not a beast.
Probably mostly thanks to the Florida panther's name, I use panther.
Panthers are also my mother's favorite animal (which means a lot considering she's an incredibly animal-loving person with more pets than I can count and a former zoo employee) and the mascot of my university, yet I've only ever heard the names panther, mountain lion, cougar, and puma of these.

For a second I thought your mother was the mascot of your university, and I thought that was incredibly weird for someone's mother.
couga, isn't that the actual name o fit.
When I think of panthers I only think of black panthers...
I use mountain lion, but cougar is also fine.

Same here...
I guess a cougar could technically have melanism but they haven't found one yet
Cougar. I will sometimes use "mountain lion" depending upon where I am or who I'm talking with, but generally it'll usually be "cougar."
puma/cougar

A Jaguar is the only black cat for me, which is not technically correct because there are other varieties but whatever. (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-41Z7LMkjNUQ/TZUJO43MfsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/u6H6UmcyYsg/s1600/BlackJaguar_big.jpg)

If I could be any other animal, it would be this motherfucker.
AND
I've never heard anyone call a mountain lion a panther here. Or anything other than a mountain lion actually.
cougar/mountain lion/panther
i usually think of pumas as black so if it's black also puma
TIL that Mountain Lions, Pumas, Cougars, and Panthers are all the same animal.

today I learned
Ah I would say most people think of black leopards or jaguars when they hear "panther" but yeah, it can be a cougar too apparently

Yeah it can be but there has never been one found so black cougars are probably nonexistent
I think of this when I hear panthers

Red sox are overpaid and patriots are cheating dicks dicks dicks
Every professional athlete is overpaid.
Fucking NBA whining.

Red Sox payroll: $161,407,476
Royals payroll: $36,126,400
The Royals Payroll is still 1901 times what I make in a year.
=| Overpaid. Even if I made 100,000 per year they'd still be making 361x what I make.
And I don't think they have 361 people on their payroll.
