Hay fotografías que no hay que desaprovecharlas por mas habitual que sea el bicho que aparezca como en este caso; volviendo a las oficinas de la Reserva del Itá me encontré con unos teros bochincheros a la vera de una de las veredas, tres de ellos bastante ariscos se alejaron del lugar con sus gritos […]
