Pygmy Pumas
From Avatar Wiki
Smaller, sleeker versions of pumas bred for compact city living. These cat-sized, extremely muscular panthers roam in packs and other animals avoid them at all costs. Pygmy Pumas can be found in the Lower Ring of Ba Sing Se. Some people consider pygmy-pumas the "Kings of the Alleyways." City life has made them amazing "city-hunters." They are able to scale walls, fences, etc., and leap from building to building in the blink of an eye. They can be quite ferocious, their sharp claws and teeth will do some serious damage. At other times, Pygmy Pumas seem to be quite affectionate. During Tales of Ba Sing Se, a group of pygmy puma's showed Momo Appa's footprint left the day before after he frees them from a cage.
Pygmy Pumas are first seen in "Tales of Ba Sing Se."
[edit] Connection
Although much smaller, these cats resemble the melanistic variation of a leopard. Leopards are the fourth largest cat species.
