This is a wild guanaco that I spotted whilst doing a tour around El Calafate in Patagonia (Argentinian side) , December 2005. The guanacos is a relative of the llama.

    A wild Patagonian guanaco is much more exciting than an alpacca Pilgrim. :) And beware – they spit!

    Wonderful image. Love the soft lighting and the delicate contrast between the reddish Guanaco and the bluish background. The pose, composition and details are spot on.
