About this title

Synopsis

Colo el puma y su amigo Ruff el gato montés saltan y juegan juntos, pero descubren que Ruff no puede saltar tan lejos como Colo. Ruff no tiene una cola larga y elegante como la de Colo, para darle balance en los saltos más largos. La cola de Ruff es mucho más corta. Está seguro de que algo no está bien con él. La comprensiva Colo sugiere que busquen una cola que le guste más a Ruff y salen a buscarla. Los dos felinos exploran una variedad de colas de otros animales y hacen el mejor descubrimiento de todos.

English Translation: Colo the cougar and her friend Ruff jump and play together, but they find that Ruff can t jump nearly as far as Colo. Ruff doesn t have a long, swishy tail like Colo does, to provide balance on long leaps. Ruff is a bobcat and his tail is much shorter. He is sure that something is wrong with him. The sympathetic Colo suggests that they go find a tail that Ruff would like better, so off they go. As the two kittens explore the variety of tails worn by other animals, they make the best discovery of all.

Keywords: Spanish, cougar, bobcat, tail, physical adaptations, tails
