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.
Senor Tango Show in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Last night we went to a tango show. The front was very fancy.
On the stage there was a warning sign because there was fire in the middle of the dance floor. There was a circle that rose up! Also on the stage were horses.
The show started at 10pm and ended at midnight. In the tango, they do a lot of butt swishing. They also did a lot of twisting. There was also an orchestra. You could tell they were professionals because they played really fast. The instruments they played were the violin, cello, bass, and accordion. It was nice music and I liked it very much.
It was an amazing experience!
