The Eastern Puma is one of 14 animals that are endangered in the state of Pennsylvania. Its scientific name is Puma concolor. It is also known as a panther, cougar, and mountain lion.
Weight: 110-180 pounds (maybe one of your parents weighs this much?)
Height at shoulder: about 2 feet
Length, including tail: 5.5-8 feet
Lifespan: about 12 years old in the wild; up to 25 years old in captivity
The puma will eat a variety of animals, but its favorite food is deer. Most pumas live by themselves except during mating season.
Pumas are endangered because people hunt them, and they have lost a lot of their habitat because of people building more buildings all over the place.
Pumas purr just like house cats.
