| The guanaco is a relative of the alpaca, the llama, and the vicuna, and a distant relative of the camel. Large packs of guanacos and also solitary ones live all over the high pampas and mountain sides here in the extreme south of Patagonia, Chile, at Torres del Paines National Park. |

| Pumas attack guanacos, and then the condors, foxes, and other scavengers feed on the carcasses. Our guide points to one. |

| We've also enjoyed some birding -- like this local gull from yesterday on the shore of Last Hope Sound. |

| An Upland Goose -- these are everywhere, in pairs. |
