Discover the puma (Puma concolor), also known as a cougar or mountain lion — the felid with the largest range of all wild mammals in the Western Hemisphere. From the Canadian Rockies to the Patagonian steppes, from sea level to 5,800 meters in altitude: the puma adapts like no other. Despite its impressive size, it biologically belongs to the small cats — it can purr, but not roar.

This premium magnet features stunning wildlife photography that captures the stealthy grace and powerful presence of this remarkable predator.

Conservation Status: Least Concern (regionally vulnerable)

  • Population: Estimated 50,000 individuals in the wild; severely reduced in North America and extinct in the east
  • Habitat: Mountain forests, deserts, grasslands, and tropical forests from Canada to Patagonia
  • Greatest Threats: Habitat fragmentation, conflict with ranchers and hunters, road fatalities from highways
  • Unique Feature: Largest range of all wild mammals in the Western Hemisphere
  • Territory: Males guard territories up to 1,000 km² — one of the largest of all felids

Fascinating Facts:

  • The puma has over 40 names in different languages — more than any other animal, including cougar, mountain lion, panther, and catamount
  • It can jump up to 6 meters high and 12 meters far in a single leap — without a running start
  • Pumas communicate through a wide range of sounds, including an chilling scream resembling a human cry
  • As an apex predator, it regulates deer and elk populations, indirectly keeping rivers and ecosystems healthy
  • The Florida panther — a subspecies — numbers only 120-230 individuals and is one of North America's most endangered mammals

Driven from its own territory:

The puma was systematically eradicated from eastern North America in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, it is slowly trying to return, but highways, urban expansion, and hunting pressure make recovery difficult. In Central and South America, its habitat is shrinking due to deforestation and agricultural expansion. The puma is a silent loser — too little in the news, too much under pressure.

We partner with organizations that make a real, measurable contribution to wildlife protection. Together, we are building a community of wildlife ambassadors — one magnet at a time.

With the purchase of this magnet, we donate €2.00 to wildlife conservation – thus, you directly contribute to the preservation of the puma and its habitat.

Turn your fridge into a tribute to America's most versatile cat — the silent ruler of an entire continent.
