Dinner time

A female puma with 3 kittens at Lago Sarmiento, Patagonia, came back to her puma carcass in the evening just before calling her kittens to the carcass to feed. She seemed to be rearranging the carcass. Since pumas are nocturnal, the best shots are in pretty low light, so a camera with good noise handling abilities that can go to high ISO's is needed since the shutter speeds have to be fast to catch the action.

    I missed seeing this one yesterday; I was gone for much of the day. Anyway, I like your caption and this female puma sure did devour that puma carcass - wow! Thanks for your comment yesterday on my daily photo.
