Until recently photographing the Mountain Lion (Puma) in the wild seemed like an impossible task. But some smart ways in Patagonia has taught us how to do this like every where else where elusive wildlife is found (Snow Leopards, Siberian Tiger etc)

But this particular individual tested our endurance by constantly moving up and down the rocky out crops of the valley. Some times he would vanish in between rocks and emerge from some where else and some times he was predictable and we could anticipate where we may spot him. 

Over all, I would think this is the best experience I had watching wild puma in #Patagonia. You can see how high he is from the valley and sometimes from the road where we parked, it was easily a 1000 meter climb and a few kilometers walk over all.
