Black Puma

The puma, also called the cougar or mountain lion, is a single species that varies considerably in size and color. The larger varieties stand about three feet at the shoulder and can weigh 225 pounds. The black puma is a solitary animal that lives in South America. It is a powerful and expert hunter and can jump up to twenty feet in a single bound. Active both day and night in the wild, it has become strictly nocturnal in areas inhabited by man. Females give birth to two to three cubs after a ninety-day gestation period.

Pumas once roamed the North and South American continent. Over-hunting and habitat destruction have pushed many of the populations to the brink of extinction.
