cougar (Puma concolor), giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) PUMA ATTACKING AN ANT-BEAR. There is no more harmless creature than the Ant-Bear of South America, when let alone. But its fore-feet are muscular and its claws are powerful and when a Puma attacks it they are used with such effect that the fierce feline is often severely wounded, although generally succeeding in making a meal of the Ant-Bear. The Puma is a very bloodthirsty animal, and, whether hungry or not, usually attacks every animal that comes in its way. The savage character of its onslaught is well portrayed in the picture. Puma concolor, Myrmecophaga tridactyla
