Panthers, (aka cougars, puma's, mountain lions, and leopards), can be found in rainforests, swamps, savannas, mountains and even deserts. They are solitary felines meeting only during mating season, and after three months of pregnancy, females give birth to 2-4 babies, for which she tends to on her own. At age of 2-3 months, cubs learn how to hunt from their mother, and in only nine months, cubs can catch medium-sized prey. With large and strong paws and sharp claws, panthers hunt everything from birds and reptiles to large mammals. At 7-8 feet in length, and weighing in at ~100-250 pounds, sporting excellent eyesight and a extremely keen sense of hearing, these are truly one of the most magnificent hunters on earth. They are also the strongest tree climbers in the cat world, and can leap up to 20 feet. .................................................................................................................................................................... #science #biology #nature #animals #education
