Laetitia led a tour that began with several days in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. Her daily limericks featured the wildlife and geology of the park. One of the most commonly observed mammals in the park is the guanaco, a wild relative of the domesticated llama.
It’s long-necked and cinnamon furred
This elegant beast of the herd,
A polygynous mammal
That’s kin to the camel
And tends to be seen more than heard.

On the Torres del Paine grassland
Rheas often are seen in a band
Moving swiftly around.
Though they don’t leave the ground
They give tourists a view that is grand.
Laetitia led a tour that began with several days in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. Her daily limericks featured the wildlife and geology of the park. On today’s tour they saw a number of pairs of upland geese.
Her head’s chestnut and his is white
When you see them on land or in flight
Near fresh water or briny
In Torres del Paine
The Upland Goose is a fine sight.
