Join a BBC Earth documentary crew as they film wild pumas in the mountains of Patagonia At the southernmost tip of South America lives the world's densest population of wild pumas--including a female named Rupestre and her four cubs. Join noted wildlife filmmaker René Araneda and his team as they follow Rupestre and her family. Witness them play, hunt, and learn to survive in the wild--through some of the toughest circumstances, even the freezing cold winter. Bold, graphic illustrations from Julio Antonio Blasco join with sidebars and infographics to bring Patagonia and its pumas to life. Readers will discover memorable and awe-inspiring facts about puma anatomy, the wider feline family, local conservation efforts, and more. Puma Concolor is the perfect nonfiction book for aspiring biologists, wildlife fans, conservation supporters, and anyone who's ever loved a cat--big or small. Translated from Spanish by Lawrence Schimel, Puma Concolor was shaped by the footage of Rupestre and her cubs Araneda and his team filmed on location in Patagonia. The content aired as episode 1 of the BBC Earth docuseries Dynasties II, narrated by David Attenborough.
