Cougars rarely come in contact with one another, except during mating season. Lions live in prides, which they need to defend from rival males, the mane makes them look larger and scarier, which could help prevent a fight (especially if the rival is younger).

Cougar, mountain lion, Florida panther, puma are all common names for Puma concolor.
