As far I know, there are cases of pumas killing fully grow red deer (elk in the USA) which can weight up to 400 kg and I remember that I read somewhere that they had a percentage of success at kills of up to 85%! If this is correct, pumas are among (if not) the greatest hunters in the cat family. Only the tiger had such a high numbers, with success of up to 50% killing red deer in Russia and a ratio of up to 1/5 against its largest prey (tiger/gaur), in single combat.
