Yeh, but still she didn't let go. Too bad there's no video, I would like to see how the guanaco was killed, the puma was bitting the back of the head in the 6th picture, maybe that was the killing blow.

I guess the photographer doesn't realize that there are camcorders now that have the option of taking stills from video.... wasted opportunity as actual video footage of cougars hunting is all to rare.

While true, the quality of photos are rather crappy in comparison. That photographers priority was on pictures.

You have maybe only one second. All you can do, is to push the button. Edit: it was a Canon EOS Rebel T3i Edited by kuri, Nov 3 2015, 05:40 AM.

Funny how the average joes consistently are in positions & situations that would make professional wildlife film makers a bit envious...it never fails!

I considered that; one would think that in this age, that there would be the option of cameras being able to take either studio quality photos or videos in one piece of equipment....
