Wild Chile

This beautiful and intriguing blue-chip series explores the incredible wildlife of Chile which encompasses a diverse range of animals and plants. This is due to the country's slender and elongated shape, which spans a wide range of latitude, and also its altitude, ranging from the windswept coastline of the Pacific coast on the west to northern Andes to the sub-Antarctic, high Andes mountains in the east. As a result of this Chile's diverse animal kingdom inhabits a landscape of extremes which has resulted in an exceptional degree of endemism, with a third of Chile's mammals, such as the shy pudu (pygmy deer) not found anywhere else in the world.
