The grasslands of Patagonia can be a dangerous place, especially for a guanaco. Being able to spot a puma amongst the constantly flowing grasslands can be a difficult task. This particular female was on her way back to a kill that she had previously stashed in the bushes. She wasn’t hunting, but still blended almost seamlessly with the landscape. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/800th of a second.

That is a great photo, Sean! Love the big cat against the backdrop of flowing grasses. Very dramatic scene!
She looks longer than the Florida panther, is she? Such a beautiful animal.
Lovely shot with essentially all neutral tones, except for a bit of green. She looks pretty healthy, and blissfully unaware of your presence nearby.
ow wow what great pic.
