My Year of Darwin 4/2//2014: frolicking gauchos

 Charles Darwin

"A naked man on a naked horse is a fine spectable" -Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle

Darwin is describing a gaucho outside Buenos Aires that was able to get his horse to cross a river by leading it half-way across then getting behind the horse and holding its tail.  Sorry, no pictures.

Manuscript submitted to Biological Conservation and all other authors under my editorial purview submitted to our special issue. Now, a book chapter due in a few days. Gulp.
