Big Cats of the Americas

The video explores the big cats of the Americas, focusing on Jaguars, Mountain Lions, and Florida Panthers. Jaguars, revered by the Aztecs, are the largest cats in the Americas, known for their powerful bite and solitary nature. Mountain Lions, also called cougars or pumas, have a wide range from South America to Canada and are skilled climbers and hunters. Florida Panthers, a subspecies of cougars, are unique to the eastern US and are endangered, with efforts ongoing to conserve their small population.
