Animal world South America This is the largest bird of prey in the world with a wingspan of more than 3 meters. Previously, they were distributed everywhere in the Andes, now, due to intensive hunting for them, the number of these birds has significantly decreased. They can now be seen only in national parks from the western part of Venezuela to Tierra del Fuego. Condors live in groups of about 10 birds, circling over the Andes, looking for carrion. Sometimes they fly to the coast to feast on eggs, which they steal from the nests of large seabirds. Young condors stay with their parents for a whole year until they grow a magnificent collar of white feathers around their necks.

Wild llamas live in the western part of South America. They live in herds. Llamas serve as pack animals. With a load of 25-35 kg, they can cover 20 km per day. They feed on grass and leaves. The body length of the llama is 1.5-2m; tail - 20-25 cm; weight 130-155 kg. Can carry loads up to 40 kg. . Llamas are easy to train Belongs to the group of camels.

Vicuña lives in the most severe hard-to-reach high-altitude (over 4000 m) regions of the Andes. It belongs to the camel family and is perfectly adapted to life at high altitude. Thick fur reliably protects her from the freezing cold, and in very rarefied air she breathes easily due to the fact that her blood tends to be well filled with oxygen. Vicuñas feed on grass and lichen.

One of the marsupial species of the South American continent is the white-bellied opossum. The body length of the opossum is more than 47 cm, the tail length is about 43 cm, and the weight is from 1.6 to 5.7 kg. The paws are short, the muzzle is sharp, the tail is long, almost always naked. The mother carries the cubs on her back. The opossum is effectively pretending to be dead. He falls on his side, his body seems to become stiff, his eyes glaze over, his tongue hangs out of his half-opened mouth. A surprised predator, as a rule, ceases to be interested in the animal, thinking that it is carrion, and the opossum, having received a moment, hides.

Magellanic penguin has a body length of 70-80 cm and a weight of about 5-6 kg. The plumage color is typical for all penguin species, a feature is 1 or 2 black stripes in the neck. Magellanic penguins nest on the Patagonian coast, on the islands of Juan Fernandez and the Falklands, small groups live in southern Peru and in Rio de Janeiro

Manatee.

Water animal. On flippers he has flat nails-hooves. With their help, the manatee crawls along the bottom and rolls from side to side.

The capybara, or capybara, is the largest of all rodents that exist on earth. Her body reaches more than a meter in length, and she weighs about 60 kg. The capybara lives close to water: in swampy areas, in the coastal regions of rivers, in the forests and plains of South America - from Panama to Argentina. During the dry season, capybaras gather in groups of 100 or more individuals near water bodies. Usually they live in small families (from 10 to 40 animals), consisting of dominant males and females with cubs. Capybaras are often attacked by predators, lying in wait near or inside water bodies where capybaras come to drink. Animals feed on grass and aquatic plants.

Plains or South American tapir

Lives in the Amazon rainforest east of the Andes. The habitat ranges from Venezuela and Colombia to Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. In the west, the animal lives in Peru and Ecuador. Fur color is dark brown. The belly and legs are lighter than the sides and back. The tips of the ears are trimmed with gray fur. Cheprak is missing.

In length, the animal reaches 1.8-2.5 meters. The height at the withers is 80-110 cm. The average body weight is 230 kg. The maximum weight reaches 330 kg. There is a small mane in the back of the head. The physique is muscular, the legs are strong and strong. There are 4 fingers on the front legs, 3 on the hind legs. Representatives of this species swim and dive perfectly. Life expectancy is 25 years. Long-livers live up to 30 years.

Guinea pigs

Guinea pig species of domesticated rodents from the genus pigs families mumps. Despite the name, they are not related to the family. pigs, as well as are not marine animals. Were domesticated Incas and are used as a source of valuable meat, as well as for decorative purposes

• Many different monkeys live in tall trees in the tropical forests of South America. Most often found koats. With strong tails, they cling to branches, jumping from one tree to another. There are four types of these monkeys. Most of them are black or dark brown. They mainly feed on fruits, seeds, flowers, but they can also eat insects and bird eggs. Koats live in rather large communities, which are often divided into smaller groups. These monkeys are very mobile, they are dexterous acrobats and are among the most common species of monkeys in South America.

The pipa toad lives in the savannas of South America, preferring any body of water for its stay in the dry season: rivers, ponds, irrigation canals, and even half-dried puddles. With the onset of the wet season, these amphibians leave their homes and embark on a journey through the flooded rainforests to continue their lineage.

• The jaguar is the largest predator in South America. This is a close relative of the African leopard, only stronger and more densely built. Being an excellent swimmer, he feels at home in the rainforests of South America. Like most big cats, he lives and hunts alone. The jaguar feeds on rather large animals: tapirs, deer, capybaras (capybaras), not refusing both small rodents living on the ground and monkeys that have descended to the ground. Previously, jaguars were distributed throughout South America, now their range is limited to dense impenetrable forests and national parks.

Crocodiles caimans gharials. Of the 23 crocodile species, 7 are critically endangered and almost all are endangered in some part of their range.

Appearing about 230 million years ago, they have survived the dinosaurs, the ice age, and more, but have hardly changed over time.

The Orinoco crocodile is not only the largest reptile in South America, but the largest animal on the continent. The body length of these reptiles can reach more than 5 meters, and their weight is about 400 kg.

And the smallest species, the hummingbird - a dwarf bee from the island of Cuba, reaches a length of only 6 cm (from the tip of the tail to the tip of the beak!); it is the smallest bird in the world. In total, there are 350 species of hummingbirds, and they all live in America, and not only in the tropics and subtropics,

The South American harpy is a legendary bird, although few have seen it in the wild. This dark gray bird of prey has a very distinctive appearance. When the bird senses a threat, the feathers on the top of its head rise up to form a collar in the form of "horns". Small gray feathers form a disc around the head, which improves the bird's hearing, similar to owls.

Like most species of hawks, the female "harpy" is almost twice as large as the male. The South American harpy's legs can be as thick as a small child's wrist, and the curved back claws are larger than those of a grizzly bear, at around 13 centimeters long.

Dart frogs and leaf frogs They live in the forests of South and Central America. Representatives of the poison dart frog family live along the banks of rivers and streams, in the rainforests of mountains and lowlands. Some spend most of their lives in trees. There are also those who live in open dry spaces, content with the moisture of shaded areas of soil under stunted plants. Unlike other amphibians, poison dart frogs are only active during the day and sleep at night. As you know, dangerous poisonous animals have a bright skin, thereby ensuring safety from predators and warning strangers. Dart frogs and leaf frogs are very brightly colored. These frogs are very poisonous. They have the deadliest poison.

• The pygmy marmoset is one of the smallest primates in the world. Body weight is 100-150g,
body length to the base of the tail 11-15 cm, tail length - 17-22 cm. They can be found in the rainy forests of South America. The tail is not prehensile, but helps to maintain balance when jumping from tree to tree. The pygmy marmoset can jump up to one meter in length. They move on all limbs.
