Flora and Fauna - Pumas
The Puma, Felis concolor, also known as Cougar or Mountain Lion, "is a large and powerful cat with a graceful and narrow body and exceptionally strong legs. It is the champion jumper among cats, able to execute a 30 ft. standing broad jump or an 18 ft. jump straight up the face of a cliff."
