The existence of Bigfoot is wildly debated across the country. But in Alabama, the existence of another creature takes center stage in many discussions: mountain lions.

The presence of these big cats is well documented in other parts of the country, but are they in Alabama or not?

The term mountain lion is one of the many names people use to refer to the animal scientifically known as Puma concolor. Some call them cougars, panthers, pumas, mountain devils and mountain screamers among other monikers.
