In this post I’m going to write about pumas. I think most of the people think pumas are very dangerous animals, because they are carnivorous harp teeth animals, but actually they are very shy animals. If you are doing some activity like trekking, it is very difficult to collide with a puma, most of the time they are hidden between the trees and the bushes, observing everything.

Some years ago I meet a park ranger of the Hornopiren National Park, I was with my brother and we talk with the park ranger for almost 4 hours meanwhile we walk up to the camp. It was summer, and we saw that this park was a not very visited place, he told us that he walk everyday alone for those trails, and in 15 years he saw only one time a puma. He was very scared but, he knows how to act in those cases, he told us that pumas are not interested to eat humans unless they are in a very hungry condition, or unless you collide a puma with her cubs, he said that the puma probably attack in the instant of the meeting.

I’m very interested about this animals, and one of my dreams is to see one in the nature, of course without being eaten by them.
