Puma
Puma (Puma concolor), Manu Wildlife Center, Madre de Dios, Peru
This Puma watched me from behind thick vegetation for over an hour. When it finally moved, it began to walk towards a nearby stream and I hoped I would see it in the open. Unfortunately, its path also brought it closer to me. It got spooked and left in the opposite direction. (This was part of an amazing night: Puma, the strange terrestrial leaf frog Callimedusa atelopoides, and a huge Bushmaster).
