The mountain lion’s (Puma Concolor) House. This animal goes with the color orange. Time ago the conquistadores found this large feline and called it ‘lion’, cause it reminded them of the Old World’s female lion. However, in the new continent they came to know it by its quechua name: puma. The puma, the mountain lion, is one of the apex predators of the andean animal world: they are silent, swift and always alert.
The puma feels comfortable in any terrain of the Western Hemisphere, it thrives in the lands from Alaska to Patagonia. They ebay anything they can clench their claws into: small rodents (like aguties) and larger ones too (like chiguiros), hunting deer, and camelids too. They do not roar, but they do purr.
Rivalries:

Without a doubt, their similarities have made them great opponents.
