Are they different species? Are all cougars panthers, while not all panthers are cougars? Please explain, I can’t find anything concrete online.

“Mountain lion, puma, cougar, panther—this cat is known by more names than just about any other mammal! But no matter what you call it, it’s still the same cat, *Puma concolor*, the largest of the “small cats.” So how did it get so many names? Mostly because it has such a large range, and people from different countries have called it different things.”
