Burying the remains

You've seen domestic cats trying to 'bury' food that they don't like by going through the motions of trying to scrape dirt over it. I watched with amusement as the mother puma spent several minutes trying to bury the remains of her guanaco carcass, which after 3+ days must have been getting pretty stinky!

Happy St. Patricks Day; sorry not the best choice of image. Might be posting only sporadically for several days.
