Chile, The Cougar Is On The Prowl

The powerful predator of the Andes is hungry, you can guess it from its sharp and confident gaze. The hunter is choosing his prey from a herd of guanacos, camouflaging himself with great skill and keeping his due. Its short and soft coat makes it look like a lioness and makes it an integral part of the Torres del Paine vegetation. In its statuesque pose, between tall grass and rocks, the cougar gives me an elegant and proud sense of power and motionless majesty.
