Did you know there is a shared ancestry between lions and pumas? Even though they are two distinct cats, their evolutionary past indicates that both species evolved from the same proto-cat ancestor.
While pumas prefer living in the forests of North and South America and keeping to themselves, lions live in groups of two or more individuals while inhabiting more open habitats.
Furthermore, lions are highly social animals living in pride. At the same time, pumas tend to be solitary creatures, although they may gather together during mating season.
That being said, there’s no denying that each has its charm, boasting extraordinary physical attributes that make them uniquely unique in their rights.
