Information
The cougar's fur is short and always uniformly colored. Very young animals of this species have spots on their fur, which slowly fade as they mature. The cougar is found from Canada to northern Argentina. It likes to be found in mountainous and densely forested areas, but it can also be found in deserts.
The animal is a kind of loner and always keeps to its territory, which extends up to 300 kilometers! The cougar always starts its active life only after dark, while it sleeps all day in its hiding places. Its food is usually small mammals, for which it lurks in dense thickets in hiding, only attacking when its prey gets close enough.
The reproduction of the puma takes place mostly in winter and spring. Pregnancy lasts only 3 months and the offspring are given birth in previously chosen hiding places. This can be for example caves or rock crevices. The female raises her young on her own, not allowing the male even for a moment to enter the hide with the offspring. The young are with the mother for about two years.
Trivia
- Multiplicity of names: Puma is known by many different names, such as "cougar," "mountain lion" or "catamount," depending on the region.
- Habitat diversity: Pumas can be found in a variety of habitats, from forests and mountains to deserts and savannas.
- Loners: Both pumas and cougars (I don't know the other species, so I'm assuming you mean cougars as a variety of pumas in South America) are solitary animals and meet others only during mating season.
- Jumpiness: Pumas are known for their ability to make impressive leaps. They can jump up to 12 meters horizontally and 5 meters vertically.
- Fields of vision: Pumas have a very wide field of vision and excellent eyesight, which helps them hunt in various conditions.
- Voices: These predators communicate using a variety of sounds, from grunts and meows to shrieks, which are mainly used during the mating season.
- A varied diet: The puma's diet is very diverse, ranging from smaller animals such as rabbits and birds to much larger animals such as deer and fate.
- Changes in behavior: In winter, pumas and culagars may become more active during the day to take advantage of warmer temperatures.
- Longevity: Pumas can live up to 12-13 years in the wild, and even longer in captivity.
- Protection status: Both pumas and culagars are considered "least threatened" species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), but their populations are under pressure due to habitat loss and conflicts with humans.
