Here’s another one from southern Chile. These guys are wild relatives of the llama, native to the grasslands and mountains of Patagonia. With their slender frames, thick reddish-brown coats, and graceful stride, guanacos are built to thrive in harsh, high-altitude environments. They live in small herds and rely on keen eyesight and speed to evade predators like pumas. When threatened, they emit a high-pitched alarm call to warn the group. They are iconic symbols of the rugged southern Andes. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens. (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/800th of a second.

In Patagonia these epic scenes were everywhere.
