Huemul - a photo on Flickriver

Huemul

            Encuentro fortuito en el sendero. El huemul (en este caso una hembra) es muy dificil de ver.
El huemul es el cérvido o ciervo más austral del mundo. Su población, a lo largo de todo el siglo XX, ha sido (como otras especies silvestres) drásticamente exterminada por los seres humanos, ya sea por considerarlo "plaga" o por "deporte", como uno de los objetivos de la llamada caza mayor. De este modo, a inicios del presente s. XXI, de los millares de huemules que había en la Patagonia, solo quedan pocos centenares.

 The huemul is an endangered species of deer native to the mountains of Argentina and Chile. One of two mid-sized deer of the Hippocamelus genus, the south Andean deer ranges across the high mountainsides and cold valleys of the Andes. The distribution and habitat, behaviour, and diet of the deer have all been the subject of study. The viability of the small remaining population is an outstanding concern to researchers.
