The jungle cat is typically diurnal and hunts throughout the day. Its activity tends to decrease during the hot noon hours. It rests in burrows, grass thickets and scrubs. It often sunbathes on winter days. Jungle cats have been estimated to walk 3–6 km (1.9–3.7 mi) at night, although this likely varies depending on the availability of prey.

Puma (/ ˈ p j uː m ə / or / ˈ p uː m ə /) is a genus in the family Felidae whose only extant species is the cougar (also known as the puma, mountain lion, and panther, [2] among other names), and may also include several poorly known Old World fossil representatives (for example, Puma pardoides, or Owen's panther, a large, cougar-like cat of Eurasia's Pliocene).
The largest is the jungle cat with a head and body length from 62 to 76 cm (24 to 30 in). [ 1 ] Genetic studies indicate that the Felinae genera Felis , Otocolobus and Prionailurus diverged from a Eurasian progenitor of the Felidae about 6.2 million years ago, and that Felis species split off 3.04 to 0.99 million years ago.

The older names including jogo de Angola (Angolan game) or brincar de angola (playing angola), also emphasize the Angolan origin. [2] The names of the major capoeira rhythms all relate to Angola (Angola, Benguela, and Sao Bento – the patron saint of Angola), and African references in the songs overwhelmingly refer to Angola.
