The animals of southern South America

One of the best things about traveling by Land Rover through Patagonia (and surrounding regions) last month was the opportunity it allowed us to see wildlife. Unlike on a bus journey, we were able to stop and linger when we saw penguins swimming or guanacos running. In an effort to share what I saw (and especially for my nephew Cedar, who is crazy about "aminals"), here's a collection of pictures we were able to snap of animals along the way.
