In Puerto Madryn, Argentina, we went on a tour and saw many interesting animals.
One of the animals was the Magellanic penguin. They were named after the founder, Magellan. He was from Portugal. The penguins were small.
They are cute when they waddle!
We saw the parents sitting on nests with their fuzzy gray babies. The nests were in holes or under a bush because their habitat is like the desert.
Another animal was the Patagonia Mara. It lives in the bushes. You can only see it in Argentina. It is a rodent that is smaller than the Capibara. It looks like a bunny but with longer legs.
The best thing was the Right Whales. We saw them at the edge of the road! They’re big, friendly mammals that live in the ocean. They don’t have teeth and they eat small copepods. They are called Right whales because they like to stay “right” by the surface.
We also saw Guanacos. They look like llamas but with different colors.
