Random information on the term “PUMA”:
†Puma pardoides†Puma pumoides†Puma inexpectatus?†Puma trumani?Puma concolor
Puma is a genus in the family Felidae that contains the cougar (also known as the puma, among other names), and may also include several poorly known Old World fossil representatives (for example, Puma pardoides, or Owen’s panther, a large, cougar-like cat of Eurasia’s Pliocene).[2][3] In addition to these potential Old World fossils, a few New World fossil representatives are possible, such as Puma pumoides[4] and the two proposed species of the so-called “American cheetah”.[5]
Pumas are large, secretive cats. They are also commonly known as cougars and mountain lions, and are able to reach larger sizes than some other “big” cat individuals. Despite their large size, they are thought to be more closely related to smaller feline species. The seven subspecies of pumas all have similar characteristics, but tend to vary in color and size. Pumas are thought to be one of the most adaptable of felines on the American continents, because they are found in a variety of different habitats, unlike other various cat species.[6]
