This adult female Patagonian Puma kept a close eye on me while I lay in a snowdrift about 150ft below her.I spotted her and her cubs earlier that morning and followed them for two hours in the hope of getting close enough for a shot of them all together.She left her cubs further up the snowy ridge and then put herself in a comfortable position to keep check.
