The tables in the book mentioned above (pp. 191-192) offers no specifics on the method used. My guess is they were measured 'over curves', but Goldman (pp. Three females shot near Santa Cruz (Argentina) well over a century ago were 6.10 (208,28 cm.), 7.6 (228,60 cm.) and 7.8 (233,698 cm.) in total length, whereas a male shot near lake Argentina was 8.1 (246,38 cm.). Goldman, 1946), one can find reliable information about the size of pumas in different regions. In 'The puma - Mysterious American cat' (S.P. Apart from the colour (quite pale), he was much more robust than all other male pumas I had seen. The skull also seemed different (relatively larger). The advice was to stay away from him. Based on what I saw, I'd say he, regarding his size, hadn't exaggerated. The male was different from pumas in other regions. In the last episode, a biologist (or ranger) was briefly interviewed. When the BBC-crew asked him about problems, he said they had recently seen a 'huge' male puma. The adult female was the longest I saw by a margin.Ī few weeks ago, I saw 'Wild Patagonia' (BBC).

In one documentary, researchers measured a female and three nearly full-grown cubs in an elevated region. The largest pumas I saw were from Patagonia. Over the years, I saw a number of documentaries on pumas in Canada, Chili, the USA (Florida, Texas and Oregon) and Patagonia.
