Which is the most powerful predator on both land and trees?
The Puma is a large Cat found in the mountains from Southern Canada to the tip of South America also
commonly known as the Mountain Lion.
The Puma has no markings on its fur
leading to its scientific name Felis
concolor which means 'cat of one color'. They have pointed ears and their acute
hearing allows them to detect prey even when it is too dark for them to see. Puma can easily
adapt to their natural habitat, they can hunt both on land and on trees
comfortably. This big cat unlike other
member of their family is not able to roar. Puma cubs are born blind and are completely
helpless for their first two weeks of life until their blue eyes fully open. The
Puma is a large and powerful carnivore,
hunting and eating only other animals in
order to survive. The Puma is one of the most dominant predators throughout much of their natural
environment and are therefore rarely preyed upon by other species. The
biggest threat to the Puma however is people who have hunted this large Cat. In some areas they are also hunted
by ranch owners who blame Pumas for their loss of livestock.
