Huemul  (Hippocamelus bisulcus)

Huemul are endemic to southern Argentina and Chile. Historical records suggest that huemul were once found in a wide band along the southern Andes as well as southern Patagonia, but now their distribution is fragmented and limited to more remote parts of the southern Andes (3).

Found on the rugged terrain and steep slopes of the Andes, the huemul inhabits forest and areas of open shrub cover (2) (3).
