Well yes, but those names are used interchangeably. Scientifically, there is no distinction, just a Puma concolor (Cougar/Mountain Lion) species and Puma concolor couguar (North American Cougar/Mountain Lion) subspecies in the US.

Ooooops Must not have had my thinking cap on very well when I blurted that one out

Just like some of the florals I now know....
The Vincas verses the periwinkles. When I first started in the florals those same thing... different words for them threw me soooooo many times!

This ~1/2" scat was found at a park. Is it deer or rabbit scat? Or something else?

If it's 1/2" Id guess it to be deer see: https://www.petpooskiddoo.com/blog/l...wildlife-dung/

Id say deer, based upon the size. I've had difficulty in my own yard differentiating the two. Amazing it is that one comes from a small animal and another from such a larger one. But I've found that size of each pellet best discriminates between the two.
