Mountain Lions Purr, Meow and 'Speak' With Sanctuary Visitors

Cougars, also known as pumas, panthers and mountain lions, are the largest species of wild cats that can meow and purr just like their smaller domestic cousins. Check out these amazing animals in the video below, which was published on YouTube by Big Cat Rescue for the world to see and hear the amusing sounds their feline residents produce.

These cougars live at Big Cat Rescue, an educational non-breeding sanctuary in Tampa, Florida, US, along with other feline residents. In this video, they can be heard meowing, purring, squeaking and even "responding" to a lady behind the camera.
