Cougar

Cougars are the largest cat species native to Canada, and are ranged across North and South America. Cougars have large eyes, compact muscular bodies, long tails, and short brown fur. Cougars in North America are usually larger and heavier than cougars in South America. Cougars are also called “pumas” and “mountain lions” in different regions. Male cougars have larger ranges than females, but most cougars live in forested areas near mountains, foothills, and plateaus.
