How to Make an Origami Panther Cub

You can use origami, the ancient art of paper folding, to make an adorable panther cub. Panthers are also known as pumas, mountain lions and cougars. In fact, the panther holds the world record for the animal with the highest number of names due to its wide distribution across North and South America. Panthers are slender, agile cats weighing from 115 to 160 pounds. Your origami panther cub, however, will fit in the palm of your hand.
