==Fauna== The Magellanic subpolar forests are home to the [[southern pudΓΊ]] (''Pudu puda''), the world's smallest [[deer]], which stands only {{convert|35β45|cm|in|abbr=in}} high at the shoulder. Other animal species include the [[cougar]] (''Puma concolor'') and the endangered [[southern river otter]] (''Lontra provocax''). Endemic [[rodent]]s include the [[Patagonian mara]], the [[long-clawed mole mouse]], and the [[viscacha]], a small rodent that looks almost like a rabbit with a long, bushy tail. Native [[bird]] species include the [[Magellanic woodpecker]] (''Campephilus magellanicus''), [[Patagonian sierra-finch]] (''Phrygilus patagonicus''), [[Patagonian mockingbird]] (''Mimus patagonicus''), and [[Andean condor]] (''Vultur gryphus''). The rich Magellanic coastal waters and numerous rocky islets host many seabirds, including [[albatross]]es, [[auk]]s, [[gull]]s, [[tern]]s, and [[penguin]]s.
