Baby Pumas are called cubs.

Pumas are mammals that are members of the cat or feline family.

They are carnivores that enjoy eating deer, elk, and sheep.

Baby pumas are called cubs, and they are born with spots and blue eyes and stay with their mothers for about 2 years.

Pumas do eat humans and they have attacked and can attack humans as prey.

Pumas (Puma concolor) are large feline predators that have been known to attack humans.

Slightly more concerning is that most attacks on humans are as prey, not as defense.

They looked at puma attacks in North America from 1890 to 2000, and found 185 attacks with injury, and 155 more close encounters with no injury.

Pumas are also known as mountain lions, cougars, or even panthers and catamounts.

The Puma or cougar is a large cat of the subfamily Felinae.

Native to the Americas, its range spans from the Canadian Yukon to the southern Andes in South America and is the most widespread of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere.

The cougar is a big cat known by many names including panther, mountain lion, puma and up to 80 more, but these are all the same species, Puma concolor.

Although cougars are sometimes called panthers, "black panther" is not a name that can be attributed to this species.

Things you should do if you encounter a puma or pumas are.

Absolutely do not run. Nothing triggers this predator's reflex like fleeing.
Pick up small children.
Stare the puma down. Make loud noises and try to look bigger by waving your arms. ...
If the puma attacks you, fight back.
