The adaptable cat
Pumas are a highly adaptable species and can be found in a broad range of habitats including all forest types and even lowland and montane desert. Although studies have shown that they prefer habitat with dense understory vegetation such as the cloud forest, Pumas can also live in more open habitats.
The puma also has the largest geographic range of any terrestrial mammal in the Western Hempisphere: from Canada right through to the southern tip of Chile.
