On Pumas
The Puma, or Felis concolor as it is known by scientists, is found in the
Western Uniter States, generally west of the Rocky Mountains and in Southwestern
Canada. Other names for the Puma are the Mountain Lion, and Panther. This species of cat has many subspecies throughout the United States, and Central Ameica, however it is endangered in Florida.
Generally Pumas have a life-span of about 10 to 15 years and have litters ranging from 2-3 cubs. The Pumas' fur varies depending on the region it is in, and usually they have longer fur in the mountain regions.
The Puma can be found in many habitats such as moutains, swamps, grasslands, and mountain forests. As the seasons change it generally follows migrating prey to different habitats. The Puma usually romes in places where it can stalk its prey, alone, such as cattle and horses. These factors may have causes the bad reputation that pumas are given.
When hunting, Pumas use their powerful legs and have been able to achieve running jumps of 40 feet when it comes to hunting. Since the Pumas are about 35-85 kilograms, and 1100-2000 millimeters in length, it is relative to the size of the Cheetah, which makes it able to hunt so well.
The species eats small and large mammals, and it is a carnivore, so it needs meat to survive. The Puma is one of the top levels in the food chain, and without them, there would be a surplus in things like deer, and cattle.
The current population of the Puma in Florida is 50 as of 1999. Because of hostility toward the animal due to its reputation, highways being built through out the state, unsuccessful breeding, road-kills and contimination of their food and land. It is thought that in the next 30 years, the species will die out completely without people stepping in.
The amount of money being spent to save the species was not disclosed. A few breeding facilities have been set up in Florida to preserve the species, unfortunately, to the government saving the cougar is of very low status to them. Thankfully, the LIOC ( Endangered Species Conservation Federation) and the American Association of Zoo Keepers, and the Exotic Feline Educational Society have been trying to take steps to increase awareness about the endangerment of the Puma.
The pudus have small, black eyes, black noses, and ears that are rounded. Pudu have small hooves, dewclaws, it is a false hoof on an animal, and short tails. Their fur is a reddish-brown to dark-brown and in the winter, their neck and shoulders turn to a dark gray-brown.

The panthers are about 6 to 7 feet long and males are always bigger than females. Their average life is about 12 years in the wild. The Florida panther population was stretched out from Florida to Louisiana up and down the gulf coast states through Arkansas. Now today the only place where you can find the Florida Panther is in Florida. You can remove the Florida panther by professional help
There are many interesting and amazing creatures on earth but the best by far is the chupacabra. But sadly not many people know the truth about it.

High mountains in asia, which runs through 12 countries Most snow leopards actually will run away unless you attack or threat them. But if they have cubs they will be more vicious.
“Bam bam bam” you hear gun-shots in the forest a person comes out with and endangered Jaguar its face covered in blood you want to help save its species, but you don't know how, but then you ask yourself “Do I want to save this species?” the Florida Panther should be helped and if not goodbye Florida Panther. Should we help wild cats? So many species of wild cats are endangered like the cheetah and the Back Jaguar, Tigers snow leopards, and lions are all on the endangered list. We need to help them because if there numbers drop to zero there won't be anymore wild cats. Can you imagine a world without cheetahs? Like in Asia the wild cats Asiatic cheetahs, Amur leopards, Sunda clouded leopards, clouded leopards, Asiatic lions, snow leopards and tigers are all endangered.
In my Savanna biome, the tigers will survive by eating deer, wild pigs, water buffalo, antelope, monkey, Zebra, and Emu. Because tigers are solitary animals they are able to hunt and kill prey for its survival alone. Tigers do not run in a pack to support themselves. The tigers in my Savanna will have one kill every nine days during the dry season. Which means their prey will be large enough to provide up to 40 of meat in one sitting. This allows my Tigers the option to not need to migrate if at all
As coyotes expanded their range, they also expanded their menu. Once omnivores limited by the grassland fauna of rabbits, mice and insects, they now opportunistically consume everything from small mammals and birds to livestock and pets, fruits and vegetables, carrion and garbage.
They can weigh up to 100lbs, and grow to be 4ft long and 2ft tall! They have short, stubby legs. Their feet are webbed, which makes them excellent swimmers.

The name coyote is a Spanish alteration of the original Aztec name coyotl. The Latin name Canis latrans, meaning barking dog, was given to it by Thomas Say, who published a description of the species in 1833. Since 1967, its official name in the U.S. has been coyote. In some parts of the U.S. coyotes are called "brush wolves.” Wolves are much larger and hunt in packs.

This provides a legal safety net to stop and slow down the loss of plant and animal species. They hold federal agencies and others accountable for complying with laws protecting rare/endangered animals using persuasion and cooperation. They recommend increased funding for private landowners and conservation programs that could benefit animals. They protect and restore habitats that were lost. NWF also reduces threats to wildlife that can lead to endangerment including loss of habitat and pollution. India is now halting tiger tourism to prevent extinction of the animals. About 1,411 of these animals live in the wild, and they are in danger of being “loved to death.” Experts fear these big cats will become extinct in only five years. Poaching is the main reason for many deaths, but tourism has also impacted the tigers. The tourist vehicles drive away the tigers prey and hotels have been built over passageways the tigers used to travel from one place to another. Alligators, Bald Eagles, Wolves, Grizzly Bears, and Whooping Cranes were all saved by the U.S Endangered Species Act (ESA). The WWF is addressing the major threats to Australia’s
