History[]
| โ | On the southern tip of South America, Patagonia is a dry, windy plateau crisscrossed by rocky valleys and stepped shelves of land that slope down from the Andes in the west to the Atlantic Ocean in the east. Pumas (cougars) and humans are the dominant predators of the region, though there are a number of smaller predators, including red and gray foxes and predatory birds. Plant species vary from grasses and small, hardy shrubs on the plains to evergreen pines and hardwoods on the mountainous slopes of the Andes. The Tehuelches are a native people of Patagonia, rumored by many early European explorers to be giants. They are, in fact, a tall people with the southern Tehuelches generally taller than the northern Tueheulches. All of these sturdy people were probably taller than the Europeans, whose average height in the centuries they first encountered the Tehuelches was several inches shorter than it is today. |
