Ti Lyon

The Ti Lyon, also commonly known as the mountain lion, is a large felid of the subfamily Felinae native to Pèlen and Lanmè, and the smaller cousin of the Nèj Leyopa. An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in most northern habitat types. Secretive and largely solitary by nature, the Ti Lyon is properly considered both nocturnal and crepuscular, although sightings during daylight hours do occur.

The Ti Lyon is an ambush predator and pursues a wide variety of prey. Primary food sources are ungulates, particularly Kabrit, but also livestock. It also hunts species as small as insects and rodents. While large, it is not always the apex predator in its range, yielding to humans, the Nèj Leyopa and Chen Gwo. It is reclusive and mostly avoids people. Fatal attacks on Imen are rare, but rates have been increasing in recent years as more people enter their territories.
