The Stalk

Sometimes it closed its piercing yellow orbs and slept the sleep of felines … appearing to doze off but remaining perfectly conscious of its immediate surroundings. When the Guanaco herd unknowingly ambled up the hillside in front of the waiting Puma, the tawny creature came alive employing the deathly technique of the stalk. And so the ambush began.
