Chueco!

 

Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you this photo that I took some time ago, this photograph was taken in the summer of 2016, I took this photograph while doing a professional internship in the "Lago Cochrane" national reserve, my work during my stay in Cochrane It was the sight of the Huemules to later carry out a population cadastre in the reserve, this animal is in danger of extinction mainly due to the loss of its natural habitat and illegal hunting, the Huemul is part of our national shield so every year they are made efforts to maintain stable populations of these specimens.

This photo brings back many memories because it is the first Huemul I have ever seen, we named it "Chueco" because of its bent horn, a few days after the first sighting it let me get closer to take this picture, I feel really lucky, because, The Huemul is a very rare animal to see and even rarer is that it lets you get close to it
