Hello, thank you for your beautiful travel blog in search of the Pumas of Chilean Patagonia, thank you for respecting and being prudent when capturing images, the Pumas in Chile are protected by law and we try to take great care of our native fauna. Congratulations and thank you for helping to preserve our heritage ❤😊
Thanks Dani, this was amazing. I love all your videos…pumas, roo. I’m a US Navy veteran and disabled, have ptsd and a ton of other things. Your videos always take me to a peaceful, beautiful place.
Stunning video Dani. Nature in the raw is amazing! Thanks, John.
Thanks John, yes it was an intense moment!
Agreed. Stunning.
Stunning, Dani. That first female Puma was simply regal.
The puma footage is GORGEOUS
Stunning videography and brilliant narration thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Dani, thanks for sharing this amazing video! Looking forward to next part with these fantastic animals.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
I love Puma! Amazing video.❤
Awesome video, Dani.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have been up close and personal with a puma that was raised by humans. He weighed 180 lbs and his paws were huge.
I put my hand on his stomach when he was purring and it was like a V-8 engine idling.
Magnificent animals!
🌹
Wow that’s amazing!
@@DaniConnorWild
It was! 😊
Amazing creatures! Thanks for sharing, Dani and Juan! I like your camper van 🤩
That.. Uh.. That's not a "camper van", that's pretty much an expedition mobile home.
What a beautiful video of your stay in stunning nature and her animals!!
Awesome ......... Patagonia should be on everyone's bucket list. 50 years since I was there and some very fond memories.
Here I am, a Swede living in Argentina, missing (and not missing) home with your videos, just to see you show up in my corner. Amazing what you got to see. Patagonia is breathtaking! Still haven't seen a puma though.
difficult for that to happen in Argentina

Go to Chile
Thank you very much for this wonderful visual experience.FABULOUS
Well that was some breathtaking footage. Thanks Juan!!
What a life. Enjoy every second of it and thank you for sharing some of the impressions.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Welcome to living in a van! 🙂 It's actually amazing that you manage to do cooking on top of everything else! Another great video! 🙂
I'm so happy I found this channel! Everything you produce possess such unique quality and performances from you guys! Top tier as always, thank you 😊
Thanks so much!
There is no luck in what you do, Dani. It's obviously your hard work and dedication to your craft that allows you to make your life so special and beautiful. Another wonderful video. Cheers!
Wow Dani, Thanks so much for your beautiful work and insight into our pretty and fascinating world. 🙏🙏🙏😘
Absolutely stunning.❤
every element of your story that you share makes "the whole" Champion. Your photography, your sincere voice, your observation. Thank You.
Amazing Dani, looking forwards to the next!
Incredible that you saw so many pumas in the first couple of days. I have lived all my life in Mountain Lion (what we call pus in California) country and I have never seen a mountain lion. They are very shy of humans, although when you were hiking in the Sierra Nevada, you can be assured that at some point you were being observed by them
We stayed in Patagonia for an additional 6 days after this puma trip, and we didn’t see a single puma. So Miguel’s knowledge and communications with other trackers, was the real reason we saw so many.
Torres del Paine National Park creates a unique environment where Puma is the apex predator and food is plentiful
Well that was a fun video thanks for sharing it’s beautiful territory, happy for the locals it’s under their good graces
Glad you enjoyed it
I always look forward to Dani's newest vids! Absolutely love UA-cam's best photographed Channel!
Another one-off Dani. Full immersion. And, nature, rolls on. The best constant in our lives. Much Love...........
I loved already your squirrel and eagle videos in Northern Europe! But this Video about the Pumas is absolutely fantastic!
Wonderful as always Dani👍👍👍
Thank you! 😊
Hi Dani really lovely to se from Patagonia cougars and all other animal's...very nice movie...🫶
Thank's for sharing to us..🙏
Super Dani!!!
Wow! Your puma presentation is wonderful, and brings back memories of my big cat sightings, here, in the U.S. Coincidentally, my first sighting was preceded by rabbits, too. A college chum, and I drove all night across northern Nevada to get to Yosemite Nat'l Park to visit a friend that lived there. Apparently, jack rabbits were on an upswing that year. We drove a Corsair that had a rather low front end that produced a "thump" every time a bunny crossed our path... we counted 112 thumps. The cougar crossed the road in front of us at first morning light. Fortunately, the encounter didn't thump. Love that you've incorporated the silhouette of Roo into your signature.
Your videos are just amazing
absolutely stunning puma footage Dani. Congrats and Greetings from Germany, love ur vids
We are so lucky that you share the experience with us and that you do so with such skill. Thsnk you
Bellissimo posto🌄
So lucky. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Loved seeing the journey you and JC were on. The pumas are amazing but I had to cover my iPhone screen for the kill. 😮 x
I'm envious! We spent a week in Torres del Paine a few years ago and only saw one puma. It was very far away. Thanks for another enjoyable video. As always, the photography and narration are top notch.
Thank you! Having a puma guide definitely helped 😆
Thank you Dani !
Great video! Very nice to watch. Heading back to Patagonia for the pumas in about a month, and this video just made me want to go already 😅😅
Wow that was some amazing footage and photos Dani. What an amazing experence that was for you and thanks for sharing it with us.
Incredible video Dani 👏
Great show kid, love the channel !
Dani is a attractive lady and interesting person, however there are plenty of people like this on UA-cam. However when she sticks to what she does best, she’s world class. Outstanding nature video
That was fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you for that 🌼🌼
Simply awesome! Thanks!
Fascinating photography and narration.
Stunning scenery. My heart melts seeing the wildlife so I'm glad you shared❤
I'm a Chilean leaving almost 24 years in Sweden .. When I see this kind of images I appreciate very much my native country and miss it so much. beautiful images , thanks so much for sharing❣
Dani, thank you for this video. It was amazing.
Breathtaking footage!! I like how you said that the female puma’s spirit spoke to you. She is absolutely exquisite! What a beautiful and exciting experience. Thank you for sharing this wonderful nature with us. The background music was perfect, too. 🧡🙏
❤you are so lucky being able to do what you do.
How good to see people like you who really appreciate and understand animals. The story about the pumas…human beings have such a splendid mind which can be used for the best and unfortunately for the worst. Above all humans - because of their mental potential - should be able to look for better solutions, come up with worthy ideas and understand other living beings with whom they share this world. Seemingly it didn't occur to Mr Greenwood that he and his sheep were invading the pumas' territory but being unable to find a way to exist together (and not only thinking of sheep in the form of dollars)… This world is of course very sad that one has to kill the other in order to survive. That's the nature of samsara.
What I didn’t mention, is that there were thousands of indigenous people who lived with the land, hunting guanacos and respecting pumas. When the foreign people arrived, the indigenous couldn’t understand the concept of land ownership so they started hunting the sheep. The foreign then slaughtered almost all these people. 😔
Fantastic channel and your voice is so calm
Much love from Denmark
Great footage
Very interesting foto and stories about puma.tq friends
Stunning video and what an experience.
what a great video, totally loved it!!! Cannot wait for another one (little brave wish, could you travel more and docu :))
I like the level I do at the moment. These trips are very experience and a lot of squirrel content is needed to fund them 😂
@@DaniConnorWild sure, just meant it was so nice to watch ! Very well done, thanks for sharing :)
So sorry you lost some of your photos but amazing what you were able to show to us! you truly are an artist
I have no doubt that witnessing such a hunt was amazing. It's a pity to lose the images but the experience will forever be painted in your mind all the same. These cats and the other wildlife of Patagonia are fascinating. I have a long-standing interest in such big cats, for I've long wished to capture images of the cougars that reside near me in western North Dakota in the badlands of the Little Missouri River. This gives me additional incentive to find the members of the small population here. Your video production is excellent and I always enjoy seeing your stories. Well done.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. The production on this is amazing, great storey telling, and narrated beautifully.
Grande mi Chile!! 🇨🇱
Beautiful photography as always 😊thank you
Thanks much Dani !!
Superb camera work, you definitely have a good eye. 'That's nature l spose' was a nice comment for a sad moment. Your narrating, video work and editing is up there with the best, thanks for taking us along with you on your travels.
Oh- Losing photos! That's a bummer. Reminds me of filming the most amazing squirrel mating chase, only to realize I was in "Monitor", not "Record" mode for the whole scene. Like you, last spring I rescued a 3 weeks old squirrel who was orphaned when her mom died. She was released about a month ago and built her natural drey in my backyard. There are a few videos of her on my channel. Her name is Molly.
Thanks for sharing this. Wish good light and beautiful moments.
Great Video Dani, incredibly shots😍, it's so much fun to watch, thank you Dani 🐆❤️
So awesome!!!!
Fantastic Quality Dani 💎💚💎
Thank you 🙌
Hi Dani, stunning film making and story telling yet again. Because of you, I’m introduced to these beautiful animals I didn’t know existed and thankfully still do thanks to conservation efforts. Your work continues to inspire me to get better at photography and film. Can’t wait for pt 2!
Wow, thank you!
love those shoots of that wild wildlifefotographer.
The Queen of Patagonia picture is captivating. Can’t wait to see the next video !
The puma and Jaguar are so beautiful cats. It’s awesome U have to se theme
Amazing.
What stunning faces on the Puma’s
Just delightful.
The shot at 4.54 was amazing.
It’s great to see how you continue to improve in your work.
I’ve been subscribed a longtime now.
Keep going Dani.
Keith. UK 🇬🇧
Another AMAZING video
Dani, you always have magnificent content.
Thank you! ☺️
Stunning video!!!! Absolutely love it - I would love to do this some day, Patagonia is on my bucket list.
Great video, those big cats are magnificent predators. At time 11 mins 45 secs the graph showing predator/prey population variation had been described as ‘dynamic disequilibrium’ of natural systems. This flies in the face of the idea of balance within wildlife management. True balance is seldom achieved or maintained for long, there are always population swings operating in these natural systems.
Thank you for sharing is amazing hello from the ranch OCR puerto morelos México!!!
Hola Sergio! Esperamos visitarte pronto!
Siiii
We wait for you guys!!!
Just magical! This is definitely on the bucket list. That female’s eyes.. just wow! Gorgeous footage and photos, as always.
Is it odd that I’m excited to see what I think is an aardvark?
So sorry you lost those photos though, ugh that must be sickening.
I really don’t know where I want to go the most - Antarctica, Patagonia or Svalbard 🤔
It was an armadillo (more footage of him/ her in the next part). It just happened to appear on the road! We thought it wanted to cross but ended up turning around towards a stream.
🤣My brain! I don't know why I keep mixing up those names. One clearly has armour and the other one does not! Doh!
I spent some time photographing the Pumas at Leona Amarga at at the end of March. Its a brilliant experience.
Beautiful scenery & wildlife. Thanks for another beautiful video Dani.
Wow, I loved this!! 🥰
Another smashing film.
Had zero luck when there, staying at Patagonia Camp was amazing
Fantastic video! You are so lucky to be able to visit these places! Thanks for taking me along!
Greetings from Denmark. Thanks for your amazing video and photography.
Well done! I will check your website and trip to Svalbard.
Feel free to email me any questions. We’re considering a May trip with less days to reduce the price…
@@DaniConnorWildI might very well be interested in that. More days is ok.
Beautiful work 👍
Amazing video!
Really great Dani,thank you😊😊
I think that'd make me puma pants.
Hello! Im glad I found your channel.... beautifuly captured and documented ❤ I feel your pain on losing the photos and u were unlucky the hunt itself happened at a difficult angle....but you are lucky to have witnessed something so wild and raw 🤩 Eagerly waiting for ur next video....lots of love from India ❤ If possible pls cover a small section on the cost and planning/bookings of your trip as well so that it can help others 🙏🏻
I just saw a video from Pangolin wildlife photography on the same topic and that really puts yours into perspective. for example you can see pumas running a few meters past 5 photographers. That`s not a big challenge.
The second part of this will go deeper into the photography/ tourism side… I’m not sure where Pangolin went but there’s another private site next to the national park where they’ve completely habituated the pumas. Apparently in the past, they shot guanacos and placed them in the perfect spot with mountains behind so photographers can walk up and everything is ready. I specifically tried to avoid this site. But regardless we still experienced awkwardness. I’ll go into it in part 2
Stunning photography. A privilege to watch. 👌
big kitty 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
