Our wild neighbours.
They do not come to visit us, but we occupied their home.
Nuestros vecinos salvajes.
No vienen a visitarnos, pero ocupamos sus casas.
The scarce wild neighbours left after the destruction of their natural habitat,
extensive hunting and lack of conservation measures:
• Large mammals such as Hipparion, Panthera once mesembrina or the Mylodon disappeared
10 000 - 13 000 years ago, with the advance of the human population, like everywhere on Earth.
• Mammals are disappearing a thousand times faster because of humans.
• 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.
• The vixen can adapt the number of embryos to the available resources - population balance.
• Llaman a mejorar condiciones de rescate de fauna silvestre herida.
• At the end of the Leones Valley a small but previously unknown and completely isolated population of huemul was discovered in 1999.
