Big cats - Puma


After the cheetah post, I think you will find this interesting.

Also known as the mountain lion, the cougar, the panther, the catamount and the painter, pumas are found in North, Central and South America. Reaching a length of five feet, they feed on deer and other mammals. Lithe and agile, they are excellent climbers. Fully grown they reach the height of 7 - 8 feet. An adult weighs somewhere between 100 - 250 pounds. Very good sense of smell and sight. They also have sharp claws and strong jaws.

In the next post we hop from big cats to reptiles. So be on your guard...

What beautiful animals and with so many different names. I don't think I would want one to come and paint my house!!! Did you know that the female puma is referrred to as a she-puma? It is sad that these animals are an endangered species. Maybe your blog can help people become more aware of their plight.
Looking forward to those reptiles!
