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.

Laguna Amarga, Torres Del Paine, Chile
In front of the Puma you can see the remainings of a Guanaco kill.
Interesting to see, how the predator covered the carcass to hide it from other scavengers like Condors or Caracaras.
I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

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!

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!

Le Parc des Félins, Lumigny, 28/02/2022
Le puma tient son nom d'un mot quechua qui veut dire "puissant". On l'appelle aussi cougar ou lion des montagnes. Il vit dans les forêts, les montagnes et les déserts d’Amérique, du Canada à la Patagonie. Il peut vivre à des altitudes supérieures à 5 000 m notamment dans la cordillère des Andes. C'est un "sportif de haut niveau" qui peut bondir jusqu'à 4 m de haut sans élan et faire des sauts de 10 m de long. Il peut aussi courir jusqu'à 70 km/h.

This is one of a pair of Pumas that guard the entrance to the new Museum of Natural History at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Originally, they were made in 1940, composed of terrazzo painted black, and installed on either side of the entrance to the original museum. After 60 years the statues became quite worn, so molds were made from the originals, and new statues were cast in bronze in 2007. The originals were restored and placed in storage.
The Michigan-born sculptor, Carelton Watson Angell (1887-1962), was the Museum Artist, and worked at U of M for 30 years.

It's been a decade since I visited Patagonia, and it remains one of my favorite trips. The region was relatively untapped in terms of wildlife photography back then. Wild puma/mountain lion photos were fairly hard to come by. A lot has changed in the past 10 years. Several guides offer tours to the region to see the pumas and other wildlife. While I'm sure it's still a wonderful experience, I'm grateful to have been there during the infancy of puma tourism. It had a wild, unexplored feel to it that I will never forget.

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! :-)
