Photographer Greg Harvey, 51, took the photos of the elusive big cat in Patagonia, Chile, to test his expert guides.

While the observer found the cougar without a hitch, it may not be so easy for the rest of us.

Pumas, also known as cougars or mountain lions, are found in North and South America and often live in mountainous regions.

If you’re having a hard time, here’s a hint: it’s not in the water.

Male cougars can grow up to 2.4 meters in length in the wild and weigh an average of 62 kg. Females are smaller and weigh about 42 kg.

Pumas that live near the equator are smaller than those that live further north or south.

The big cats are solitary and can travel more than six miles each night in search of their prey, making it even more difficult to track them down.

You’ll need to get up early or stay up late into the night to catch a glimpse of them, as they are most active at dawn and dusk and at night.
