contents This study presents a mathematical model that describes the relationship between the Puma concolor and its prey using delay differential equations, a Holling type III functional response, logistic growth for the prey, and a Ricker-type function to model intraspecific competition of the pumas. For positive equilibrium, conditions guaranteeing absolute stability are established, based on the delay value and model parameters. The analysis demonstrates the existence of a unique maximal solution for the proposed model, which remains non-negative for nonnegative initial conditions and is well-defined for all $t$ greater than zero. Furthermore, numerical simulations with different parameter values were performed to investigate the effects of systematically removing a percentage of predators or prey. Numerical simulations attempt to exemplify and put into practice the theorems proved in this article.
