Pumas
Pumas
are
sometimes
called
mountain
lions
or
cougars.
They
are
big
cats.
However,
pumas
actually
have
more
things
in
common
with
small
cats.
Instead
of
roaring,
pumas
hiss,
growl,
and
whistle.
Pumas
often
have
light
brown
fur
with
no
markings.
Some
pumas
can
be
grayish
or
reddish.
Pumas
have
large
eyes
and
upright
ears.
They
have
big
paws
and
strong
legs.
Pumas
live
in
North
and
South
America.
Mountains
are
good
places
to
find
pumas.
Their
thick
fur
keeps
them
warm.
Pumas
are
meat
eaters.
They
pounce
to
catch
their
prey.
Pumas
mainly
eat
small
mammals.
Baby
pumas
are
called
cubs.
Cubs
are
born
with
spots
on
their
fur.
These
spots
help
mothers
hide
their
cubs
in
their
habitats.
Cubs
leave
their
mothers
at
two
years
old.
Pumas
can
live
up
to
20
