The puma, also known as the cougar or mountain lion, inhabits the wild terrains of the Americas—from the forests of Canada to the deserts of Patagonia. Its uniform sand-colored or reddish-brown coat allows it to blend perfectly into its surroundings.
A solitary hunter, the puma is a master of ambush and agility—capable of leaping up to 12 meters in a single bound. Its skin is thinner than that of larger cats, yet highly elastic and resilient, helping it survive tough hunts and encounters with larger prey.
The puma is the essence of agility, control, and precision.
