Beavers were introduced to Tierro del Fuego in 1946 to attempt to start a fur industry. The effort failed for various reasons, but the beavers flourished. They are now creating massive destruction in the forrests, which can’t recover like north american forrests, where the trees co-evolved with the beavers.
We took a sunset walk and saw a beaver emerging from its’ mound.
Speaking of sunset – there seemed to be only like 2 hours of night we were so far south!
