I think the thick fur also makes it difficult to hold on for the Puma with its claws and makes taking a bite difficult as it falls off. And then there are the athletic skills of an Olympic Gold medalist with the Guanaco.

[@krankarvolund7771]

As big as they are, a bite on the neck is still fatal ^^ The problem is to manage to bite the neck :D

[@ohmyshou1der]

I also highly doubt the 10 % number refers to adult Lamas, probably 10 % of hunts in general. Very young Lamas are probably relatively easy prey as long as the kill is made before mom kicks the cougar to death.

[@Shivian124]

Maybe most of the unsuccessful hunts are on these larger prey?

[@ReflectedMiles]

It's kind of amazing that they survive nine unsuccessful hunts like these in order to be successful once. I would think that the damage sustained from those kicks and being thrown to the ground at speed would take a serious toll on their health and longevity.

[@Brave-828]

That’s why cats don’t have as many cubs and their lifespan significantly shorter than their grass-eating counterparts

[@daakudaddy5453]

Cheetahs have the highest kill rate among big cats, and that too is only 50%. Predatory is hard. There's a reason the world is not overrun by predators, because preys too have evolved to beat the predators. And most of time, its the prey that wins.

[@yaqubahmed9042]

wow respect the mountain lion doing it just for her cubs

[@indyreno2933]

Lions, buffalo, and antelope are all found only in both Africa and Asia, therefore it is actually misleadingly incorrect to call a puma a mountain lion, misleadingly incorrect to call a bison a buffalo, and misleadingly incorrect to call a pronghorn an antelope, the Puma (Puma concolor) is actually more closely related to cheetahs (genus Acinonyx) and the jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi), bison (genus Bison) are a genus of true cattle (subtribe Bovina) with the closest living relative of both the European Bison (Bison bonasus) and the American Bison (Bison bison) being the Yak (Poephagus grunniens), while buffalo are an entirely distinct subtribe (Bubalina) from the true cattle (subtribe Bovina), and the word "antelope" refers correctly and exclusively to the taxa Tetracerus, Tragelaphini, Hippotraginae, Peleinae, Reduncinae, Antilopinae, Cephalophinae, and Neotraginae of the family Bovidae, while the Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is the sole extant member of a separate family known as Antilocapridae, which is actually more closely related to giraffids than to bovids, making the giraffes (genus Giraffa), Okapi (Okapia johnstoni), and Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) the only extant members of the broader superfamily Giraffoidea.

@@bernieshort6311 @Lushh Club not trolling man I actually love David attenborough's narration, his voice has the "legitimizing" effect on wildlife videos, but it does seem like everyone forgets about the videographers, filmographers and photographers that take all the risks, do all the harsh travelling to get this rare footage, and then make it into a compelling piece in post-production. Yet all the comments on KZbin are MOSTLY about David attenborough narrating. He literally just talks while sipping his tea...that's it. It's like 5% of the video. Let's also give credit to the actual hard workers behind the operation.

[@nxva8726]

0:44 Notice the bird sounds. I think they saw it was going to happen. The lama thing probably didn't notice. In Africa, monkey & bird sounds usually give it away. Plus there's no breeze, which was an advantage for the puma. They have to position themselves against the breeze, to avoid their smell being carried

Honestly, when you watch it like that it seems downright impossible for those small teeth to kill that large guanaco. I'm more surprised this hunt succeeds often enough

[@Squintel7]

Small teeth?

[@shane6450]

Considering male cougars reach 220 pounds + and are 9 feet long from nose to tail, there is nothing small about an adult cougar. I have a skull replica of a male cougar and the skull and teeth are larger than the leopard and his teeth are over 2 inches long. They regularly kill guanaco but in this video the female failed. The males are much more successful because they are much larger and stronger.
