Pumas have an extremely wide home range, and can live in most any habitat, from dense forest to arid scrub and desert.

They are known to exist in western North America from as far north as the Yukon territory in Canada, and most all of South America as far south as the Andes in Chile and Argentina.

There is some evidence pumas may live in the eastern parts of North America, as well, but this is somewhat uncertain.
Well I bet there's A single puma at your local zoo. If you'd really like to know where they all are wikipedia had this to say about it: "The Cougar (Puma concolor), also known as puma, mountain lion, catamount, or panther, depending on the region, is a mammal of the Felidae family, native to the Americas. This large, solitary cat has the greatest range of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere,[3] extending from Yukon in Canada to the southern Andes of South America. An adaptable, generalist species, the cougar is found in every major American habitat type. It is the second heaviest cat in the American continents after the jaguar, and the fourth heaviest in the world, along with the leopard, after the tiger, lion, and jaguar, although it is most closely related to smaller felines."

Pumas can live anywhere from sparse deserts to heavily overgrown forests to frozen mountains. They can pretty much live anywhere (except the southwestern states) in the continental US.
