on our first day in Chilean Patagonia we reached Torres del Paine NP right before sunset
We were delighted when our guide spotted a female Puma with her 2 cubs descending a hill to reach a waterhole in a valley.
This image shows the 2 cubs looking at their mother

Early morning sighting @ Torres Del Paine NP, Chile

a herd of Guanaco's has detected a female Puma among the low vegetation on a hill. Instead of running they are intensely watching the cat
Guanaco's are the main prey species of Pumas in Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile
With sentinels placed on hill tops Guanaco herds have a very efficient defense system during the daytime.
We have observed several times that with their excellent eyesight these sentinels are able to detect movement several hundred meters away. Often it are Puma cubs that break cover for an instant which makes daytime hunting very difficult for puma mothers.
The sound of the Guanaco alarm calls carries quite far.

A wild Puma at Patagonia. From my last trip to Patagonia, Chile.
The puma (Puma concolor)—also widely known as the cougar, mountain lion, or panther—is a large, solitary wild cat native to the Americas. Despite reaching sizes comparable to leopards, it is classified as a "small cat" (Felinae) rather than a "big cat" (Pantherinae) because it lacks the specialized hyoid structure required to roar.
Wishing everyone a Peaceful week!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Mit einer Schulterhöhe von bis zu 90 cm und einem Gewicht von 100 kg gehört der Puma zu den größten Raubkatzen der Welt. Trotzdem zählt er wissenschaftlich nicht zu den Großkatzen, sondern zu den Kleinkatzen. Sein nächster Verwandter ist der Jaguarundi, auch Wieselkatze genannt.
Im Gegensatz zu Großkatzen wie Löwe, Tiger, Leopard und Jaguar kann der Puma nicht brüllen. Stattdessen produziert er oft schreiartige Laute.
With a shoulder height of up to 90 cm and a weight of 100 kg, the Puma is one of the largest predatory cats in the world. Nevertheless, he is not scientifically one of the big cats, but one of the small cats. His next relative is the Jaguarundi, also called weasel cat.
Unlike big cats such as lion, tiger, leopard and jaguar, the puma cannot roar. Instead, he often produces scream-like sounds.
The cougar (Puma concolor), also called puma, mountain lion, catamount, onça-parda and panther, is a large feline native to the Americas. It inhabits North, Central and South America, making it the most widely distributed wild, terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the most widespread in the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cougar

Puma is a genus in the family Felidae whose only extant species is the cougar also known as the puma, mountain lion, and panther, among other names. Pumas are large, secretive cats. They are also commonly known as cougars and mountain lions, and are able to reach larger sizes than some other "big" cat individuals. Despite their large size, they are more closely related to smaller feline species than to lions or leopards. The two subspecies of pumas have similar characteristics but tend to vary in color and size. Pumas are the most adaptable felines in the Americas and are found in a variety of different habitats, unlike other cat species. Here a mother and one of her "big cubs" (there were two), peacefully enjoying their habitat in Torres del Paine, Chile.
Wishing everyone a Peaceful Travel Tuesday!

Five year old female puma (puma concolor), "Escarcha" (aka Frost), named for her distinctive silver grey color. She is a very confident puma that is normally calm when being observed. However as the mother of two very young kittens, she mostly kept a fair distance away from us. Her passing this close to us was a real treat.

Le puma est classé en annexe II de la CITES, c'est-à-dire en espèce vulnérable.

Escarcha (Spanish for "Frost") is a well known young female puma (puma concolor) living in the Chilean Patagonia. Named for her light grey coat, she is the daughter of the famous puma Peteka. She is a nursing mother of two very young kittens.

Parc Torres Del Paine
Le pelage du puma est uniforme (concolor signifie « d'une seule couleur »), même si l'on devine parfois des rayures sur ses membres antérieurs. La couleur reste dans les tons fauves et varie du brun roux, dans les régions tropicales, au gris jaune, dans les régions arides. Le dessous du corps est plus clair, allant de la couleur crème au blanc. La longueur des poils dépend du milieu naturel dans lequel l'animal vit : ils sont rudes et courts dans les régions chaudes et longs en régions froides. Les cas d'albinisme sont rares mais les cas de mélanisme sont fréquents .
Portrait d'un gros matou. Avez-vous déjà eu l'occasion de les entendre "rugir"? ben mon Billy fait plus de bruit que lui quand il réclame à manger! Un p'tit "miou" ridicule vu la taille de la bête :-) un peu comme le miaulement hésitant d'un chaton de quelques mois. Et dire qu'il faut garder son sérieux pour pas les vexer! :-)

His "cry" surprised me, a very little "miaw" almost ridiculous regarding to it's height :-)
I gave a talk about Patagonia yesterday evening which made me search through my old files for images. This was a shot of two Pumas silhouetted against a red sunrise but I had initially dismissed it as too grainy. But I reprocessed it using Topaz software and it made a dramatic image to finish on, even though it was sunrise, not sunset. It was taken in the Torres del Paine national park in southern Chile where Pumas (aka Cougars or Mountain Lions) are not uncommon and relatively easy to see. They are most active at dusk and dawn so we used to set out before dawn to reach the best areas when it was light enough to see. This was an opportunistic sighting en route to the best areas. One Puma is obvious but the left hand Puma could be mistaken for rocks. And if you want to know what they look like in daylight here's one: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/30268381566/in/photolist

We're done!
Just before Christmas we ended 2022 with an intense series of incredibly successful Pumas of Patagonia Expeditions.
We can safely say every client went home wowed and immensely pleased with their stash of photos and memories. Some are already planning their next visit.
We kept waiting for it to peak, but every day brought something new and amazing and special.
Roll on 2023.
Thanks to the guide and tracker teams that made it all possible.

Puma_La Guida
"Elegante, agile, veloce, il Coguaro o Puma è un grande felino ... che porta in sé la forza della montagna, la forza di chi per gli altri è guida. ... Una guida deve sapersi prendere cura di sé stessa e degli altri, rispettando i processi di ognuno per non cadere nella proiezione del genitore, al quale ci si affida delegando il proprio potere personale."
Coguar_The Guide
"Elegant, agile, fast, the Cougar is a large cat ... which carries within itself the strength of the mountain, the strength of someone who is a guide for others. ... A guide must know how to take care of himself and others , respecting everyone's processes so as not to fall into the projection of the parent, to whom one entrusts oneself by delegating one's personal power."
