Puma Cats - Site Map
Puma Cats are known under many other names such as: the Cougar, Panther or Mountain Lion, Catamount, and Painted Cat. Its scientific name is: ''Puma concolor,'' or ''Felis concolor.” The names vary depending on the region where the cat is found. The name ''panther'' is more commonly associated with the black color variation of the leopard or the jaguar.
Puma Cats range from the south west of Canada down into the western states of North America and throughout most western parts of the South American continent. The Puma Cat can be found in various habitats from the mountain forest, up to around 16,000 feet to lowland swamp and grasslands.
Notwithstanding the range of the animals, their main food consists of white-tailed and mule deer, which are typically slightly larger than the Puma Cats them selves. Sometimes a Puma Cat eats bighorn sheep and pronghorn antelope that make up a substantial part of the diet of an animal in some areas.
Puma Cats hunt alone, by day or night and will cache its food, if large enough, in dense undergrowth returning to it over several days. The Puma Cat is big enough to tackle larger prey such as domestic cattle and horses as well as wild deer, sheep, rodents, rabbits, hare and beaver. In hunting, the puma uses the strength of its powerful hind legs to lunge at its prey with single running jumps that can reach in excess of 40 feet.
