I still think back to my days walking with the Pumas of Patagonia & I am still utterly amazed at the epic encounters we had with the 4th largest cat in the world!

Just for a moment - imagine yourself here, only a few meters away from such a formidable animal! It’s such a unique experience, and unlike anything else on earth. The cats are habituated to people on foot & in fact, will happily walk up to you. It allows for a life-changing nature experience and epic wildlife photography as well!

We are always in the company of professional guides who are aware of the cats & their associated behaviours, always watching for signs of distress. We keep a healthy distance to the cats but there are times, like this, that they simply decide to walk a little closer on their own accord.

Join me in 2024 for an experience with Pumas in Torres del Paine that will change your life!"



"@hekeprkl not talking specific sub species, just that they are the 4th largest - tiger, lion, jaguar, then puma."

Would like him to specify but he's the 2nd person who've I seen say that these Pumas are larger than the Leopards they've seen.

He just gave a general description rather than a rank of subspecies.

Though I do wonder what his opinion is on Persian and Congo Leopards.

That was in response to the person talking about subspecies of lions and tigers.

He still gave a general species list.

A friend of mine on a different forum messaged him, and he based the order of size on wikipedia research.

“A friend” meaning Luipaard and “messaged” meaning harassed?
Why not post the whole conversation for context?

Maybe so, but Marlon confimed:

1. He meant the whole species. When the guy asked him about the size of Andean cougars, he just pointed out that he was basing the list off the general size of species.

2. He showed that he based his iinformation on wikipedia.

3. According to Marlon, the biggest leopard is in Sabi Sands? Wasn't the biggest confirmed leopard in Valencia, Namibia? Reply
