Hua Dai’s Image
Hua Dai (China) observes a brief pause during a puma cub training session.
Hua first heard the scream of a guanaco, followed by the growls of the female puma summoning the cubs he’d been tracking in Torres del Paine National Park.
When Hua arrived, the guanaco was still alive, unable to escape, and covered in bite marks.
Puma cubs initially follow and observe their mother hunting.
At six to ten months old, they begin learning how to find, stalk and kill smaller animals – lessons essential to their survival.
