Cougar in the Andes of north-west Argentina
We like to think this lone cougar is off to meet its friends to join in a celebration of World Wildlife Day, recognised each year on March 3. The 2018 theme of the UN-sponsored event is protecting big cats, including lions, tigers, cheetahs and cougars just like this one. Also known as the puma, panther or mountain lion, this species has a wide range in the Americas, spanning from Canada to Argentina.
