Pumas, AKA mountain lions, are apex predators and are known for their strength and agility. They are capable of taking down prey much larger than themselves, which includes animals like the guanaco. These large beasts are a type of camelid, closely related to the domesticated llama. They are well adapted to the harsh environment they exist in, be it the high altitudes of the Andes or the barren plains of Patagonia.Guanacos have evolved several strategies to survive in the face of predators. They are known to be able to run at speeds of up to 56 km/h (35 mph), which can help them escape from predators in many situations. They can also use their strong necks and heads to deliver powerful blows, or swing a puma around in an attempt to break the cat's stranglehold as you can see from the video above.Mountain lions are experienced and tenacious hunters. They employ a stealth approach, preferring to ambush their prey and aim for the neck, where they can inflict a critical bite that crushes the windpipe, severs the spinal cord, or suffocates the prey.In the end, the puma outlasts the guanaco and secures a massive win against an opponent that is at least twice her size.
