Pumas

Puma (genus), “Cougar”

On the Web

On Wikipedia

Puma is a genus in the family Felidae that contains the cougar (also known as the puma and mountain lion, among other names), and may also include several poorly known Old World fossil representatives (for example, Puma pardoides, or Owen's panther, a large, cougar-like cat of Eurasia's Pliocene). In addition to these potential Old World fossils, a few New World fossil representatives are possible, such as Puma pumoides and the two species of the so-called "American cheetah", currently classified under the genus Miracinonyx.
