The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

We went looking for cougars.

We found a mom and her cub, but they were really far away.

Although the mom kept looking at us like we were too close

They went really fast in the other direction.

We found the remains of lots of cougar food

Guanacos

Then we spotted another cougar

Looking for guanacos

She got a lot closer than the Mom and cub

She was good at prowling

And sneaking

Even though she was very tall.

Her butt is taller than her shoulders.

We went back into Torres del Paine in a car

Like smart people do

We still couldn’t really see the spikeys

But at least our legs didn’t hurt finding that out.

It has a famous cave where a giant ground sloth was found, but we didn’t go visit it.

Later in the day we could see the spikeys

With clouds behind them and next to them.

It didn’t last long.

This is a fire-eyed diucon.

This is a Magellanic oystercatcher

This is a duck (Matt says so)

This is an angry bird (Matt says so)

This oystercatcher thinks Matt should try harder.

This is a South American grey fox

This is a red fox

They are much bigger than the grey foxes

See how tall he is?

Matt says this is a falcon

This is a rhea. We saw them all over South America from the Pantanal down. But this is the first time we managed to get a picture.
