South America includes 12 independent countries and the overseas territories of France and Great Britain. This is a picturesque continent with a huge number of historical monuments and many birds that are not found on other continents. Most South American countries have an animal or bird that is recognized as a national symbol.

This huge black bird has been chosen as a national symbol in several South American countries, including Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Argentina. The Andean condor plays a special role in the folklore and mythology of the Andean people. Like moose, okapi and giraffe, this bird is of a monotypic genus. Basically, the Andean condor is found in open, non-forest areas located at an altitude of 5000 meters.

The head and neck of this majestic bird is devoid of plumage, which minimizes the risk of infectious infections. These body parts can blush depending on the emotional state of the bird. Males can be distinguished by the presence of a large dark red crest and wrinkled skin around the neck. Females are usually slightly smaller than males, but heavier. They have a large wingspan.

You can distinguish the Andean condor from a similar Californian condor by the collar of white feathers around the neck. The Condor takes off with difficulty, but prefers to climb to significant heights and soars in the air. In captivity, these birds can live up to a hundred years.

Puma and jaguar

The cougar is the national animal of Argentina. This graceful predator is found in all major climatic regions. Depending on the region, this animal is called a mountain lion, puma or mountain cat.

The latter definition is associated with the external appearance of the animal, which looks more like a large domestic cat than a real lion. The cougar hunts various hoofed animals, tracking down its prey from an ambush.

In Guyana and Brazil, the jaguar is considered a national symbol of the fauna. This animal plays a huge role in the ecosystem of its range, so its extermination can lead to a strong change in the environment.

The jaguar also belongs to the umbrella species, therefore, its protection also implies the protection of a number of other inhabitants. More than 80 species of animals can fall prey to this predator.

Vicuña and alpaca

This animal is a national symbol. The fine coat of the vicuna is very valuable considering that the hair can be trimmed every 2-3 years. These animals live in the Andes at an altitude of 3200 to 4800 meters.

Since the vicuña lives in the thin air of the mountainous Andes, it has a heart that is 50% larger than that of animals of the same weight. Another unique feature of this alpine animal is the constantly growing incisors.

The alpaca is recognized as the national symbol of Bolivia. Like vicuña, it is bred to produce woolen yarn, from which warm clothes are knitted or woven. These animals have long been domesticated, and now it is difficult to meet wild alpacas.

Although the alpaca is similar to a llama, it is still small to be used as a beast of burden. Therefore, they are grown exclusively for obtaining meat and wool, which is very valuable, therefore it often becomes the main prey of smugglers.

Pampas fox and South Andes deer

The pampas fox is the national symbol of Paraguay. This fox lives in open areas, on grassy plains. Her fur is predominantly gray with a reddish tint on the head and neck, and a black stripe runs along the ridge. The tail of this fox is long, with thick hair and black tips. Black markings are also found on the hind legs.

Chile's national symbol is the South Andean deer, one of two endangered species of deer found in the Andes. In summer, these animals live at high altitudes, and in winter they descend into protected forest valleys. These deer are of medium size, have a hunched, thick body and short legs. Thick wool provides these animals with reliable protection from cold and moisture. This species of deer is listed in the Red Book. Their only enemy is the cougar.

Red-bellied thrush and hoatzin

The red-bellied thrush is recognized as one of the national birds of Brazil. There are 12 subspecies of this bird, which differ from each other in color. In winter, the red-bellied thrush migrates north to the tropics, and with the onset of warm weather in the temperate zone of southern Brazil, it returns to its homeland. This bird can be found both in cities and in rural areas. The main food of the red-bellied thrush is coconuts, oranges, papaya and insects. The life span of this bird is 25-30 years.

Goatzin is the national bird of Guyana. The Europeans gave it the name "stinky bird" because of the specific smell of meat. Goatzin has a bizarre appearance, a pointed crest, bright plumage and the most unpleasant odor that occurs due to the specificity of food digestion in the goiter.

This bird is found in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, where it is recognized as a national symbol. The hollow-throated bell ringer is widespread mainly in subtropical or tropical lowland, as well as in humid tropical mountain forests.

The male has a snow-white body with a bright turquoise mark on the throat. Females and chicks also have a light or olive green body and a black head. The name "bell ringer" comes from the sharp calls of males, which are issued with the aim of attracting females. The sound emitted is like a hammer hitting an anvil or a bell.

Andean rocky cockerels feed mainly on fruits and insects.
