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.

Torres del Paine. Au lieu de la neige, on a eu droit à la savane africaine. Pas tout à fait la même ambiance mais bon. On a fait avec. Le puma porte bien ici son nom de lion des montagnes. No snow at all. Despite that, what a fulfilling experience it has been.

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.

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.

Thank you for your views and comments. They are all greatly appreciated.

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.

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

A Super Puma (D-HEGT), Airbus Helicopters H225 (AS332) conducted fast roping of police special forces on a federal police ship (Potsdam BP-81) at the 836. Hamburg Hafengeburtstag.

This classical capture, helicopter in front of the facade of the Elbphilharmonie, is a nice goal to achieve during that demonstration of police skills.

Puma au parc des félins

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! :-)

Portrait of a big tomcat ;-)

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

Torres del Paine. Le puma ne consomme que ce qu'il tue. Il s'attaque surtout à de grosses proies. They only eat what they kill.

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.

Untamed Pumas of Patagonia

At ZA Cheetah Conservation, South Africa

We caught this young Puma coming down the hillside just as they walked through a patch of Mata Guanaco in flower.

Taken on one of our Untamed Pumas of Patagonia Photography Expeditions in October 2022.

We are now offering our first Fixed Departure for this destination in October 2023!

Join us and a small group of individuals for the opportunity to take a walk on the wild side. To observe, immerse yourself and photograph the pumas and other wildlife of Patagonia.

Come and explore the southern tip of the America’s, where the winds race across glacial fields, between towering mountain peaks, across the open steppe and glacial lakes.
