Guanaco

Guanacos are camelids native to South America. They can be found in arid areas like the Altiplano and Patagonia. In Argentinean Patagonia you usually only see them running from a distance whereas in Torres del Paine they are protected and therefore more numerous and less shy.

Thanks a lot, John! They are amazing- standing in the middle of the road sometimes! If you stay in the car they will stay...

Herzlichen Dank, Ko! Ja, mit dem Crop-Faktor waren das 320mm. Das Zoom habe ich inzwischen nicht mehr, es war OK bei gutem Wetter, aber nicht bei weniger Licht.

Wie schön, Gudrun, die sind so typisch für Südamerika, ich hab sie in Peru gesehen, zusammen mit den anderen Sorten.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Daniela Brocca ^club

Danke, Dany! Ich finde alle vier Arten schön, aber die beiden wilden Arten sind die besten:-) Am liebsten mag ich die Vicuñas (muss ich auch mal welche hochladen...)

Sehr schön erwischt - auf der kleinen Ansicht dachte ich erst, das hat ein Holzbein! ;-DD

Gudrun ^club has replied to Dida From Augsburg ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Dida! LOL, das Bein sieht auf den ersten Blick wirklich seltsam aus, so im Schatten des Winterfells;-)

Wow! This is a delight and an absolute gem. Love the pose :-) Beautifully photographed and a fave for me. Wishing you a lovely Sunday, Gudrun.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Roger Bennion ^club

Thanks a lot, Roger! They often stand like that, pricking up their ears. Once they start laying them back it's better to keep out of spitting distance;-)

Many thanks, Carol! They are among my favourite animals. In Torres del Paine you are sure to see a lot of them.

An absolutely delightful photo. Your nearest model was both posing and pouting for the camera.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Polyrus

Thanks very much, Neil! They seem to be posing, don't they.-) Actually, in the herds there's always one animal on the lookout that alarms the others when it sees something dangerous (there are pumas, though you usually don't see them)

Thanks a lot, Esther! Guanacoas aren't as shy in the park as they are elsewhere.
