Puma stalking and killing a Guanaco in Torres del Paine National Park, southern Chile

This video is not for the faint of heart. It shows a female puma stalking a guanaco (Patagonian relative of the llama), charging, and making the kill. The video was shot by my daughter just outside of Torres del Paine National Park in southern Chile. The guanaco was probably twice as big as the puma. It was an awe-inspiring site - cruel, but it was nature in action and the circle of life. You can see the stealthy puma moving in at about 28 seconds into the video, and the charge begins just before 2 minutes. This trip was organized by Natural World Safaris through the Chilean group Quasar. We had a fantastic guide, Cristian Asun Miller, and amazing tracker, Roberto Donoso, and their great expertise enabled us to see almost 10 pumas total in a four day adventure!
