EXAMPLE OF ECHO

Intro: “Ghost walker” is one of the nicknames of the majestic cougar because
it stealthily sneaks around its varying habitats and is rarely observed by
humans. They have spectacular physical characteristics which distinguish it
from other members of the cat family. There are many reasons why the
cougar has unique features, and the effects help them not only survive, but
also thrive in the Americas. Cougars also have certain interesting habits and
routines when it comes to raising their young.
•
Conclusion: On the whole, cougars are very formidable creatures. They have
unique physical features that make it a highly sought after animal for
photographs. Cougars have amazing adaptations that help it survive including
three types of teeth that are used for different purposes. This animal is also a
quick learner when it comes to hunting and eating.
