Yet, like most visitors, she had never seen a mountain lion--the charismatic yet enigmatic predator also known as a cougar, panther, or puma. She had only detected their ethereal presence on the landscape, which left her pondering where they were and what they were up to. After five years, through her serendipitous encounters with their tracks and scat, the burning question remained: \u003ci\u003eWhat is the essence of the mountain lion?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To understand an animal no one sees, Patten conducted more than one hundred interviews with biologists, conservation groups, state wildlife managers, houndsmen, and professional trackers.
