Puma

This looks like a really nice exhibit.

Thank you very much for your comment. We try to provide a suitable habitat and care to our animals and the reproduction of most of them indicates that they are comfortably.

Was this a rescue or wild caught specimen? If so, what subspecies?

~Thylo

It rescued male specimen. It was a pet and unfortunately is neutered and declawed.
The subspecies is Puma concolor capricorniensis

It's a shame that he's neutered and declawed, he's a beautiful specimen. Is he the only Cougar at the zoo?

~Thylo

Yes, it's the only one. As our goal is the reintroduction of species in their natural environment, we have focused our breeding programs on two small cats: margay and pampas cat.
Uruguay is a small country and is complicated survival of big cats, pumas are very few free specimens.
