The word "panther" can mean different things. In Africa, a panther is an alternate name for a leopard - and the Cree language has no word for that cat.

In North America, panther is just one of a wide range of names given to the puma, cougar or mountain lion. In Cree this animal is called asiniwacew or mistahkesiw.
