I painted this portrait of a mountain lion laying against a rocky ledge with soft pastels on suede mat board. Even though I photographed him in captivity, I wanted to portray him free and looking over its territory high up on a rocky ledge.

Fun Facts: Young mountain lions have spots, but adults do not.
There are an estimated 30,000 mountain lions in the western United States. One mountain lion subspecies, the Florida Panther, is critically endangered with a population of less than 100 individuals. With the exception of humans, the mountain lion has the largest range of any mammal in the Western Hemisphere. They are found from Canada to Argentina. In North America, they can be found from British Columbia and southern Alberta to California and Texas. Small populations can be found east of the Mississippi River. The Florida panther is found in isolated populations in Florida. Mountain lions are solitary animals. They are very territorial and actively avoid other cats except during courtship. Their ranges can vary in size from 10 square miles to around 370 square miles; and females tend to have smaller ranges than males.

Height: 2-2.3 feet at shoulders.
Length: 3.5-5.5 feet (2-2.5-foot tail length).
Weight: 110-180 lbs for males; females weigh slightly less.
Lifespan: About 12 years in the wild; up to 25 years in captivity.
