A recent expedition into the Chingaza National Park, in the Colombian Andes showed the presence of cougars in the area. At some point they were thought to have been eradicated from the area due to poaching; however, due to the high density of white tailed deer in the park it seems like a small population is flourishing in the area, judging by the great physique these specimens show. The Chingaza National Park though located at a high altitude in the Andes is also right along the equator, cougars may attain large sizes here due to the already mentioned density of prey items, proving once more that their proximity to the poles has little bearing on the overall morphology they are able to develop. They share the habitat with Andean bears as a sympatric carnivoran, instead of the jaguar.
