Far South American wildlife arrives at National Zoo
The National Zoo receives its fourth animal consignment in thirty days, totaling twenty one specimens from Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Ascuncion, and Texas. Highlights include two four foot capybaras weighing 100 pounds, a elx-banded armadillo, two coypus, a rhea, two guanacos, two white lipped peccari, three king vultures, magellan geese, crested screamers, two Cuban deer, and eyra cata. Capybaras and coypus drawn by rarity, while king vultures and crested screamers attract crowds. Quarantine delays for guanacos and peccaries due to hoof and mouth concerns, with careful health checks and smooth transfer despite cold weather. The article notes South American wildlife diversity and the capybara and capybaras’ behavior and habitat, plus the unique Magellan goose sexual dimorphism and the crested screamers’ notable spurs.
