The two brothers, though, were bitter rivals.

One owned Puma, the other Adidas.

They hated each other toward the end of their lives.

They're buried in the same cemetery as far away as the plots would allow.

They were also passionate Nazis.

Another Puma fact no one wanted to know is that after the company was floundering a few decades ago, it called in CEO Robert Louis-Dreyfus.

And if the name sounds familiar, that's because his second cousin once removed his Julia, Louis-Dreyfus, who was of Jewish descent, which is weird, again, because the founders were Nazis.

Also, Julia's dad was worth $4 billion at the time of his death in 2016.

That's wacky.

I didn't know that.

Anyway, pumas can be six to seven feet long, and they can weigh over 100 pounds, although the males can weigh in at double that, 200 pounds.

Now, a snow leopard in the genus Panthera weighs 75 to 120 pounds.

much smaller than the non-panthera, non-big cat puma.

Also technically not a big cat is the beloved cheetah in a totally different genus and is capable of running faster than the 55 miles per hour speed limit in most states.

Now cheetahs weigh in between 50 and 140 pounds.

Again, not a panthera or a big cat, but larger than the official big cat snow leopard.

For more on mountain lions also, you can see our very sad but touching memorial episode for P-22, the solitary lion that stalked around L.A.

's mid-city urban park until his death in 2022.

I interviewed drunk people on the street for that.

But yes, cheetah and mountain lion, are they big cats?
