It's spring in Patagonia.

Winako calving season.

It may seem like easy prey, but catching them is a lot harder than it looks.

Especially for beginners.

They need the cover of darkness.

Motherfucker.

For novice predators, sometimes it's hard to figure out what's prey and what's not.

You can't seem to decide if this skunk would make a good meal.

Tonight, the full moon hands a critical advantage to their prey.

The young hunters will have to work very hard to remain unseen.

their favor.

They have the darkness they need.
