A northern mountain viscacha at Machu Picchu. "The three species of mountain viscachas (genus Lagidium) live in the Andes Mountains from central Peru southward to Chile and Argentina, usually at altitudes between 4,000 and 5,000 metres (13,000 and 16,000 feet). They have very long ears and resemble long-tailed rabbits. Mountain viscachas weigh up to 3 kg (6.6 pounds) and have a body length of 30 to 45 cm (about 12 to 18 inches). Fur on the upperparts is dark gray to brown, often with a dark stripe down the back; the underparts are white, yellow, or gray. The blackish tail is slightly shorter than the body and is tipped with black or reddish brown. Inhabiting dry, sparsely vegetated rocky cliffs, outcrops, and slopes, these rodents are poor diggers but are agile on the rocks, where they eat grasses, mosses, and lichens." www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/630332/viscacha Machu Picchu is believed to be the estate of a 15th-century Incan emperor. It is located at an altitude of 7,970 feet (2,430 meters) in the Andes mountains of Peru. AIMG 0926

New Zealand Fur seals on Kangaroo Island, Australia. Commercial hunting almost eradicated New Zealand fur seals from Kangaroo Island in the 1800's. They have rebounded to nearly 100,000 and pose a threat to penguins and fish stock. Fur seals, like sea lions, are members of the eared seal family (otariid). They differ from true seals (phocidae) in a number of ways, including having external ears, using their front flippers predominantly to swim and by being able to walk on all four flippers. AIMG_6512
