10. New Environment After a 1000 years the puma now lives in Asia which Has the hottest, coldest, driest and wettest weather. The winters are long and cold. The summers are short and hot. Everywhere else except the mountains there is little rainfall.

11. New Adaptations The puma would be all black and fluffy in winter so it can keep warm because dark colors attract heat. In the summer the puma would be tan and have very little fur because light colors don’t attract heat. The puma would start eating plants because there is more plants then meat in Asia. The animal would start living in groups because they would need protection. They would sleep less because they would have to look for predators. A threat would be if a puma was hiding in bamboo and someone cut it down the puma wouldn’t have anywhere to hide. Lastly their new predators would be other big cats because big cats don’t get along well.
