More About catamounts
Catamounts have lived in America for a long time. They are strong and smart cats. People have seen them in many places, from the woods to the mountains.
They help keep the balance in nature. By eating other animals, they help keep the number of those animals down.
In the future, we hope to learn more about them. They are a big part of the wild and need our help to stay safe.
