Puma females usually have two to four kittens, every two years or so.
Two or three cubs is normal.

The panther likes areas near the equator. For example, Florida has many panthers and so does South America.
The only puma subspecies endangered is the Florida race, known as "Florida panther". Around 80 survive.
Florida Panthers are usually in a large tract of land, that has many trees and is near a swampy area.
Hard to say, but the total population is around 110 now.
Flamingos are not native to Florida and do not produce offspring. Most of the pink birds you see in Florida are Roseate Spoonbill.
yes, there are not many left in existence though.
today, there are fewer than 100 panthers in Florida. They have been on the federal endangered species list since 1967 and on the state's endangered list since 1973. And they are located exclusively in the southwestern part of the state. Darrell Land, panther section leader with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said, "No credible evidence exists for any other populations. Collisions with vehicles would be occurring if indeed there were undetected populations."From nonprofit groups dedicated to saving the predator, to the Florida license plate bearing a panther's image, to the professional Florida ice hockey sports team and Florida International University college teams, the Florida panther seems to be a species with a great deal of popularity and clout. Yet what it needs most to survive right now is land.How Panther Numbers PlummetedWhat caused the panther to become nearly extinct? Many factors have threatened the panther: man-made contaminants, vehicle collisions, scarcity of prey and immune problems.Land said it is difficult to say how many panthers there were when the animals were in their prime, but "if you consider that the range extended to South Carolina and Arkansas, they must have been in the thousands," he explained.The first threat to panther existence was likely hunting. Native Americans hunted the panther for its skin, teeth and claws. Then early settlers aggressively hunted the cat to eliminate its threat to livestock. From the 1800s until the 1950s, the state of Florida paid a bounty for Florida panther pelts. That's when panther ranks dwindled.The resulting small isolated population led to inbreeding and some genetic problems, including infertility and heart murmurs in kittens. In 1995, 8 female Texas cougars -- the closest remaining cougar population that had shared Florida panther range -- were introduced into the Florida panther population to help increase gene diversity.But habitat loss is by far the most significant impact to the health and well-being of the Florida panther. The panther needs large areas with an adequate number of prey. Florida -- and particularly southern Florida -- has seen increased mining, farming, ranching and lumbering in addition to the influx of people."Today, direct persecution is practically non-existent," Land said. "White-tailed deer numbers are perhaps greater than ever, but habitat loss continues, and the former 'panther' landscape has been fragmented severely by an immense spider web of highways and urbanization."
There are about 2 left.Most of the died of hunters and constapation. (i am just kidding on the contapation part and there are about 50 to 80 left)
No. No other mammal is known by so many names. Puma, cougar, panther, catamount are all names for Felis Concolor, the mountain lion. As a species, the mountain lion is not endangered, but is listed as "Least Concern' by the IUCN. Only the race in Florida, known as "Florida panther" is endangered, and even it has recovered slightly.
Koalas produce a single offspring, once a year. On very rare occasions, they may produce twins.
