a steep descent - a photo on Flickriver

a steep descent

            while playing with its sibling this male Puma cub had taken a different route when their mother decided to go to the lake to drink. 
Looking at their mother further down the mountain he now realizes they have to hurry and catch up with her
My 27 April posting shows 2 cubs running to catch up....

Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile
