  extensive hunting and lack of conservation measures:

  2.   Mammals are disappearing a thousand times faster because of humans.

  3. Piche:  The pichi is the only xenarthran known to hibernate. During winter, its body temperature can drop as low as 14.5 °C.  La caza del piche es una actividad frecuente en la Patagonia.
