Remarkable: Often you give the Latin names for plants and animals. Must be a biologist in your family or in your team; or someone very interested in biology. Nothofagus: A so called living fossil, already in Mesozoic times growing on earth, when Dinosaurs´ ruled the continents. - Best wishes to you all! Gg
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words Gg! Living in such a beautiful place, with three curious young minds, it is very hard not be a biologist. The kids are always asking the names of the local flora/fauna. If we can't answer, then they ask if we can go online, to the University of Magallanes field station, or to the library so we can identify the things we see. They are becoming quite the little naturalists, it is amazing. - Somira
