You can really see the similarities and relationship to the Puma when you take out the spots.

Beautiful animal. I read another article about it, and this coat could have actually helped him survive in the wild as some animals could have mistooken him/her for a Lion.

Took the words out of my mouth.

Very few Pumas are now to be seen in UK collections, but when the RSCC brought in a couple of youngsters a few years ago I was very interested to see a distinct 'tear stripe' between the eye and the muzzle.
