Greener grazing
The huemul doe made it safely across the rapids and quickly got down to grazing on the vegetation. In this case it was true that the 'grass' was greener on the other side since road construction on the Carretera Austral, which was quite close to the stream at that point, had degraded the vegetation on the road side. Estero Mallines O Paso las Mulas, Patagonia.

on June 28, 2021Yay--she made it! Now, can she just stay on that side, or does she have to come back through the rapids? Glad she can munch down on the greenery!

on June 28, 2021This is a fantastic capture and it does illustrate that while it may be a myth, the grass surely can be greener on the other side.
