Wildlife Safari to The Argentine: Patagonia
(1972)
Also known as: Episode 4
In the wake of Magellan, the expedition searches for wildlife along the coast of legendary patagonia. Studies are made of the Mara or Patagonian hare (Dolichotis patagonum), a most extraordinary mammal never filmed before. Sea elephants (Mirounga leonina) enjoy meeting humans at sea, and Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) are searched for from the air. A sea-bird metropolis with a million Magellan penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) is host to the BBC party, who fare rather less well than the birds in a dust storm that blows up.
