Puma, Torres del Paine National Park

This is a photo of a female puma in a cave in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park.

Female Puma at Cave

I had been wanting to photograph mountain lions for a while, so in 2016 I went to Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park with two friends.  This female became our most photographed subject.  She was totally oblivious to us.

She was known as “Sister.”  She had a female litter-mate who had no tail.  Her litter mate was called, as you might guess, “Tail-less.”  Tail-less became pretty well-known for a while.  I guess Sister got her name because of her relationship with Tail-less.  Anyway, by the time we were there in 2016 Tail-less had disappeared.
