puma
A puma is a large predatory wild cat native to the Americas, also known as a mountain lion or cougar. They have a slender body with a brownish-gray coat and a tail tipped with black. These powerful predators are known for their agility and strength, and can adapt to numerous habitats, from forests and mountains to deserts. They are solitary and territorial animals, with males often having a large home range. Despite their size, they are not considered part of the big cat family as they cannot roar, but rather purr and hiss.
