pole to pole with ME

This was the best wildlife sighting on the hike. Sure, we saw some birds, but the cougars were all in hiding (not that I'd want to get too close to one of those!). This Patagonian Fox (el Zorro Patagonico) was rifling through the garbage at Camp Dickson. Hmm. I think the Chilean park managers could take a page from us? One fox, at a different camp, was so habituated that he would steal hikers' boots from the vestibule of their tents! This foxy fox had collected over 40 individual pieces of footwear in one season. Maybe it liked the salt on the sweaty boots. Maybe it just had a twisted sense of humour, and liked to see hikers do the circuit in their flip-flops. Either way, the cache of lost boots has yet to be found...  Posted by Picasa
