In the north of Argentina the fauna is most various and extensive. The mammals in these regions include several species of monkeys, jaguars, pumas, ocelots, anteaters, and raccoons. Indigenous birds include the flamingo and various hummingbirds and parrots. In the Pampas are armadillos, foxes, martens, wildcats, hare, deer, hawks, falcons, herons, plovers, and partridges; some of these animals are also found in Patagonia. The cold Andean regions are the habitat of llamas, guanacos, alpacas, and condors. The coast of Patagonia is rich in animal life: elephant seals, fur seals, sea lions, and species of penguin. |
