The Puma

Pumas, also known as mountain lions or cougars, are large wild cats found primarily in North and South America. With their muscular bodies, they can grow up to 9 feet long from tip to tail! They have a sleek, tan coat and fascinating round pupils, unlike most big cats which have slits. These stealthy and skilled hunters are incredibly strong, able to leap as high as 15 feet and run as fast as 50 mph!
