As of 2014, there are approximately 50,000 pumas or mountain lions left in the wild. This is due to the loss of habitation.
30,000 are left in the United States. Less than 100 Florida Panthers.
The cougar, puma, or mountain lion, is a very common animal in the Americas..There are thousands of them in the wild..Estimates in North America of 45,000..Central and South American populations are around 30,000..
The Pumas have dropped to hundreds since 2000.
According to scientists, the eastern cougar is extinct and was declared as such in 2011.
Numbers are hard to figure for this elusive cat, but over its entire North and South American range, the total is probably 60-80,000.
Mountain lions have a huge range in North and South America and many parts of that range are in remote and isolated areas where a census would be impossible to conduct.
The only puma subspecies endangered is the Florida race, known as "Florida panther". Around 80 survive.
Cougars, mountain lions and pumas are names of a single species. The only subspecies currently endangered is the Florida panther.
Yes, pumas are under the category "near threatened" on the conservation chart.
Pumas were brought into Missouri recently to control the deer population but the Missouri Conservation doesn't want anyone to know that they're here
They are hunted for their fur which has been used for centuries for clothing and other items. Puma's require a large area to hunt in and that area has been decreased as more people cut down forests, and destroyed areas that Pumas need to hunt. Pumas are also endangered by the farmers that kill Pumas. Farmers view Pumas as a danger to their livestock and therefore kill the Pumas to keep their livestock.The puma or mountain lion is not an endangered species. They are fairly common over most of their range. The Florida race is endangered, but the species as a whole is not.
The PUMAS have won two world cups. Pumas are Argentina.
Pumas live in a variety of habitats, including desert scrub, chaparral, swamps, and forests, but they avoid agricultural areas, flatlands, and other habitats lacking cover (vegetative or topographic). Six subspecies of Puma concolor are recognized by most classifications.
Maybe 50,000, if both southern and northern subspecies are combined.
No, the population of pumas is quite healthy and only the Florida panther is critically endangered.
The only subspecies of the cougar that is endangered is the Florida panther due to habitat loss and habitat fragmentation as well as vehicular accidents. The species as a whole, however, is in no danger of extinction.
Around 35000 in Africa, and a further 400 or so of the Asiatic subspecies in India.
There once were 8 subspecies of tiger, now there are only 5. There are about 6000-7000 tigers left in the wild.
