Pumas stalk their prey at night or during the fading light of dusk, creeping up on a victim before pouncing on it and inflicting a fatal bite to its neck.
In this fascinating clip, we follow two puma sisters as they learn to hunt for themselves. They live on rocky, sandy mountainsides and play and fall out as siblings often do.
