It was my Seamless delivery driver, more than an hour past the app’s estimated arrival time, bearing a Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme.
At this point, my doorbell rang, and I walked away from the TV. The puma grips the fallen guanaco’s neck with her heavy teeth, and begins to drag its massive, flaccid corpse up and over the high plains of the southern Andes, toward the spot where her hungry cubs are waiting. A third time, she brings a guanaco down, but her long pursuit has brought her dangerously deep into another cat’s territory. Shrugging off the injury, she launches a second failed attempt on the herd. Eventually, it succeeds in hurling the puma off its body the cat slams to the ground, now with a bloody gash in her foreleg. The guanaco, three times the cat’s size, bucks and kicks wildly, its fur ripping away in gauzy chunks under the cat’s claws. She sees her moment, and gives chase to one of the animals, launching herself into the air and onto the terrified creature’s back. As Sir David Attenborough narrates and dramatic music mounts, a puma in the Chilean highlands stalks a herd of llama-like guanacos, watching the graceful creatures with her flat, unnerving predator’s gaze.
The “South America” episode of the BBC series “Seven Worlds, One Planet” opens with a sequence of harrowing intensity.
