Table 1. Probability ( 0.05) of difference between the means of color variables for selected North American Puma concolor subspecies, including
corvi and Everglades cats. Variables include measures of hue, saturation, lightness degree of redness, and degree of yellowness for mid-dorsal an
mid-lateral region of skin (probability of no overall species effect 0.0001 MANOVA). Not all subspecies were tested.
