Comment
The South American cougar (Puma concolor concolor), also known as the Andean mountain lion or puma, is a cougar subspecies occurring in northern and western South America. It has great cultural significance in many different South American cultures, and some regard the puma as being either a snatcher of souls, or as a helper of people.
