Argentina is home to a diverse range of wildlife due to its varied terrain and habitats ranging from lush rainforest to marshlands, grasslands, mountain s and bleak Patagonian Desert. This means that you may encounter an astonishing range of fauna on your Argentina travels – from penguins, whales and seals to condors, armadillos and guanacos. Alpacas, llamas, guanacos and vicunas are all found in the Andean Mountain regions with deer, pumas, foxes, tapirs, monkeys, armadillos, opossums, sloths, porcupines, squirrels, hares, bats, anteaters and the occasional jaguar being found both in the mountains and at lower elevations. Argentina is also home to rodents such as capybaras, coypu and chinchillas. Sea lions, seals, whales and dolphins are found off the coast.
