The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

The guanacos are very skittish in Patagonia

But sometimes they still have to rest

They get back on their feet quickly though

In case there’s a cougar around.

Sometimes they need to roll

That makes them slower to get up

Sometimes they have babies

Kerri is going to show restraint with this baby

Because she’s two months behind on posting pictures

And most of the pictures of the baby look pretty much the same

But she’s so tiny

The guide thought she was probably born that day

And she needed a drink

The cougars better stay away.

Can you spot the cougar?

She can’t spot you.

Now she can.

But she’s not interested in you.

And there are no guanaco around.

So she’s bored.

Cougars kind of look funny when they’re yawning.

It’s the puffy eyelids

Which make them look scary most of the time.

They have very big paws.

The back ones are big too.

Their tongues are big too

Bet you can’t stick your’s up your nose.

They also have long whiskers.

And big ears.

The cougar had a stretch

A big stretch

And a yawn

And walked up

Over the hill

But then an hour later we saw another cougar

Or possibly the same cougar, we can’t tell them apart.

She also went up the hill

But then she walked along the top for a bit.

Then came back down

Slinkily

To cross the road

Not caring who might be in her way

Even though she was a lot smaller than the cars.

She got to the other side.

And looked  around

In all directions

And went up and over that hill.

The cougar that was definitely not Hobbes wandered down the hill

And licked her nose again.

Really well.

She then continued her journey.

Lifting her right foot

And then her left.

Yes, you needed to see every step in this journey.

Even when she was trying to hide.

Every picture is important

Even when she’s not facing the camera

You have to get a good look at the tail

Because sometimes it is hidden.
