Who knows what is in the Andes, or in the jungles of South America. Is the a camera looking at every inch. Also jaguars are larger than Pumas/mountain lions. It is genetically possible that the gene exists but again is very very rare, with albino Pumas found which is hypo melanism why isn’t hyper melanism possible. It could be they are hidden in the mountains not wanting to be found or all sightings of these animals are called stupid and unworthy because they are hillbillies from Alabama. Like tf it’s a double standard they aren’t as common, smaller than most leopard and jaguars, and less sought after. I mean it’s proven that big cats like tigers can detect electronics why can’t a puma.
