Animals We Met In Argentina

While we were in Argentina we had a few surprise encounters with animals.  Some were arranged, like the horses at the gaucho ranch that you've already seen, others were complete and fun surprises.  Here are some of the best.

Wild monkey at Igauzu.  We actually saw a whole troop of them.

Not sure what theses are.  Look like long-legged guinea pigs.  Too small to be pikas.
