In the Netherlands, there are stray wolves from Germany occasionally. Luckily there aren't any mountain lions in these parts. They are much more dangerous than wolves.

There are mountain lion cubs, adult male mountain lions, and adult mountain lionesses; they are all mountain lions. However, adult mountain lions are not mountain lion cubs ('small mountain lions').
