  2. Tarsier - this one exceeds even your impossibly high standard. It should grace the cover of any book of Patagonian wildlife. The photo is simply epic - amazing! Posted 8 years ago

The guanaco is a camelid native to South America that stands between 1 and 1.2 metres at the shoulder and weighs about 90 kg . The colour varies very little , ranging from a light brown to dark cinnamon and shading to white underneath. Guanacos have grey faces and small straight ears. The name ''guanaco'' comes from the South American language Quechua word ''wanaku'' . Young guanacos are called ''chulengo''.
