Caracaras are already hard at work on the puma's kill, but their meal will soon come to an end.

Condors are big and powerful, with an enormous wingspan more than three meters.

Now, the carcass is theirs, and with so many gathering at the feast, there will be nothing left for the pumas when they return.

But condors are skittish birds.

Any disturbance can distract them from feeding or throw them into a panic.

But it's hard to take off uphill, especially on a full stomach.

Condors need a lot of lifts under their big wings.

They return to the safety of their rookeries to wait for their next opportunity.

This is the opening the Caracaras were waiting for.

The fox doesn't want to miss her chance either.
