Big Cat Statues Make Great Gifts

These Big Cat statues really make fantastic gifts. The detail is incredible and their majestic appearance will be the centerpiece of any room.
Big cat distinguishes large cat species from smaller ones. One definition of big cat includes only the four species of cat in the genus Panthera: the lion, tiger, leopard, and jaguar. Members of this genus are the only cats able to roar, and this is sometimes considered a distinguishing characteristic of big cats. A more expansive definition also includes the cheetah, snow leopard, clouded leopard, and cougar. The roaring cats may also be distinguished from the other big cats by referring to them as "great cats". Another distinction is the offspring of the great cats are called cubs while the offspring of the lesser big cats are referred to as kittens(Wikipedia).

Puma also called American Lion, Cougar, Deer Tiger, Mexican Lion, Panther, Painter, Moutain Lion, or Catamount(Felis concolor), is a large, graceful cat, of the family Felidae, that is exceeded in size only by the jaguar among cats of the New World. The name puma is derived from usage by the Inca Indians.
The puma ranges widely from the southern third of British Columbia to Patagonia in habitats as varied as mountains, deserts, and jungles, but, because of persecution by humans, it is now generally restricted to wilderness areas. The mountain lion is found over a wider range than any other mammal in the western hemisphere, except for man. Once common, the puma has been eradicated in many areas, and its survival is threatened. The Eastern puma of North America and the Florida cougar of the Southern United States are considered endangered.
A male puma may grow to be 1.8 m (6 ft) long, plus a tail of 60-90 cm (2-3 ft). Cougars' long tails may be one-third of their total body length. An adult male cougar weighs between 63 and 90 kg (140-200 lbs), and a female cougar, between 40 and 50 kg (90-120 lbs). The coat ranges in color from reddish to brownish yellow or gray. Black stripes reach from the mouth to the eyes, and the tail tip is black. The head is small and round with a black spot over the eyes. Pumas usually live to be about 12 years old, but they have been known to live up to 19 years in captivity.

The Cougar, Puma, Mountain Lion, Panther, or Catamount (Felis concolor) is a fierce cat that lives deep in deciduous forests, rain forests, grasslands, and deserts of North America and South America. These solitary cats can purr but cannot roar. Very athletic, these cats are excellent jumpers, climbers and swimmers.
Cougars have a life span of about 8 years. There are many subspecies of cougar. Cougars are an endangered species due to loss of habitat and over-hunting by man.
Anatomy: The cougar has keen eyesight and good hearing. It has a small head, big ears, powerful jaws, long, pointed canine teeth, and sharp, retractable claws on each foot. The brown eyes have circular pupils. These powerful cats are up to 6 feet (1.8 m) long, plus a long tail that is 2-3 ft (60-90 cm) long. It weighs up to 200 pounds (90 kg). The young have a spotted coat, but become solid tan to gray-brown at six months of age.
Diet: The cougar is a carnivore (a meat-eater). It is a fast, solitary hunter that hunts both during the day and at night. It eats deer, wild hogs, sheep, moose, elk, rabbits, hares, rodents (like beavers), raccoons, some birds, and livestock. Cougars stalk their prey and then ambush it by leaping from the ground or from a tree. They kill large animals by pouncing on the back and breaking the neck. They bury large prey with leaves and twigs to hide the carcass from other animals until they are able to finish eating it.

Pumas were eliminated from most of eastern North America by the turn of the 20th century due to uncontrolled hunting and trapping, habitat fragmentation and destruction, and decline in their main food supply - the white-tailed deer.
During the 20th century, the white-tailed deer has made a dramatic comeback in the east. Without sufficient predators such as the puma, deer overpopulation is becoming a serious problem in many eastern states. History has shown that without sufficient predators in an ecosystem, those species whose numbers have not been controlled will become vulnerable to diseases that could threaten their entire populations and ultimately destroy the ecosystem(wildliferehabsanctuary.org.
