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.
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.
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.
Yep obviously I've felt for the prey that gets killed and whatnot, but I have a couple of times felt bad for the predators due to failure to catch a prey. They didn't ask to have such a biological system that requires meat to survive.
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.
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.
@@indyreno2933 it doesn't matter my bro. Mountain lion is another common name for them. It's like calling a Barbary ape an ape or a grey fox a fox despite neither of them being true apes or true foxes
@The first sentient gazelle, actually, the former is actually called the barbary macaque, also, grey foxes are technically foxes, foxes are already a paraphyletic group anyways.
The most famous and much-loved narrator of this century. I thank you Sir David for this video and your outstanding commitment and dedication to bringing the natural world so close for us all to see. You Sir inspire me with your dedication and devotion to educating humanity regarding our natural world and in recent years, taking the time and effort to encourage the world leaders and others to help reverse some of the dreadful damage man had done to this earth.
@@lushhclub819 and @Gurtej Tiwana. What is your problem? I make a post because I admire a person for his life’s work, and you are trying to discredit me and or him. Get a life and do something more useful than trolling.
@@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 RUclips 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.
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
Imagine the same thing happening in Asia on a bigger scale, just few hundred years ago. A lion/tiger catching a wild dromedary/bactrian camel. That would have been legendary
Hi! How are you? In Korea/Seoul, the rainy season stopped for a while today. Looking at the clear sky, my mind was clear. I hope you have good health and good things on weekends and holidays. Thank you.
Rupeste is an impressive hunter, with high endurance and determination. but its so impressive how the guanaco can flip her off especially how it uses it's neck like a spring.
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
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.
its interesting to see the predator being portrayed in a vulnerable position for once because normally we are rooting for the underdog (the prey) to escape.
Gave me flashbacks of ordering take out from my favorite restaurant. Feel like I always have to hunt down my meal and only 10% of the time is the experience a complete success.
Nice to see you give the puma some love.. That looked rough for the puma. Not sure if an African lion could take those things down without a fight either.
To me guanacos have a really interesting way of getting the predator off of them (in this case the puma). It’s unlike any other large herbivore, like an impala for example
it helps that the pums is only one third its size and body weight, and its alone. this thing vs something an impala has to face would be a curbstomping for the guanacos. the lions and hyenas were soo sorting that evolving to be able to defeat thn 1 v 1 would be impossible so they evolved to run faster and longer thn their predators.
I think it depends on the size and life style. I can expect oxes of the old times, reindeers, wildebeests or buffalos also able to throw their predators off (well, maybe not lions in case of gnu ^^'). But they also live in large herds so prefer herd defence. Guanaco are much more solitary, so also have harder time spotting the enemy, not having hundreds of eyes around. I guess "being rowdy" is the best weapon in their arsenal ^^'
In North America, the puma has an easier go of it with deer and elk, or some of them prefer bighorn sheep. Once in a while, they will try to eat a moose, which as you can imagine is very difficult.
I'm always in suspense (the background music giving me chills) and happy to see a prey escape (especially the cubs) from any sort of cats! Can they kill each other and leave others flourish!😅 But well..... Ecosystem.
You know it's World-class when you hear the sound of Sir David Attenborough.

It’s like the llama was laughing at the puma with each failed attempt 🤣
Llama Ha Ha
Puma I will try again/or different prey
It wasn't so easy though....it needs a lot of effort to shake off puma claws n teeth
Guanacos not llama
That neck swing maneuver is so OP.
they even jump lmao these mofos really gave the middle finger to the predadtor prey mechanic

@@cannabiscraftsman1278 My dude... cougars are the same as pumas... it's the same animal
A neck bite and it's over, got pretty close here actually
Maybe most of the unsuccessful hunts are on these larger prey?

Guanaco laughing at puma😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was cheering for the cat the entire time. 🥰🤗💖🇨🇦
Yaaaay.

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

so impressive how fast the puma hops right back to its neck after being dumped hard to the ground 😮
01:06 🤣🤣🤣🤣 laughing on him hhhhh
I often find myself cheering for the prey to get away, until I see the disappointment in the predators face :/
