_{shown with chocolate dapple, noctis cape, bone unders, leg stripes, white marbled underglaze,
dark brown tail, and dark noctis tail half. no colored markings on head area;
what you see is my new marking.}

so i know we already have a puma marking, but it seriously needs some work,, and is really overpowering, especially if you just want the puma facial markings. (and don't get me started on how lacking the facial marking department is...) obviously we shouldn't replace the puma marks, because some people really like them, and that would probably screw up a lot of lions. so i'm proposing cougar marks as a marking that is completely different while still being based off the same animal.

i made four different versions, with increasing coverage. all are shown colored ebony.
(my favorite is #4)

cougar marks 1 lineless	cougar marks 2 lineless
cougar marks 3 lineless	cougar marks 4 lineless

and as a comparison to our current puma marking:
