Description

Giant anteater encounter. I was on the road that crosses the Los Fierros pampa, and stood still when it emerged from the vegetation, apparently undetected. The photo down the road, with just the tail visible, illustrates why a common name in Spanish is 'oso bandera.' The photo of a track is not from this sighting, but in the same area.

Location approximate.
