}Apartial skeleton including fragmental skull and mandibles of the puma, Felis concolor, was recovered from Svendsen Cave, Marion County, Arkansas. The remains are thought to be of Late Pleistocene (Wisconsin) or Sub-recent age. Fossil records of the puma are rare and only one other Pleistocene or Sub-recent site in Arkansas, Conard Fissure, has yielded remains which could be assigned to this large felid.

The first unequivocal record of Puma concolor prior to late Pleistocene times in South America is reported and anatomical analysis demonstrates that MMP 1476-M perfectly matches with the morphology of living puma specimens.
