    Andean flicker (Colaptes rupicola), a large woodpecker that inhabits the Andean Puna. It is one of few woodpecker species that spends most of its time on the ground, it has little choice as no trees grow so high in the mountains.
    The marbled water frog (Telmatobius marmoratus) is one of the two highest elevation frogs in the world, both of which occur in the Cordillera Vilcanota. A threatened species declining from harvesting by humans, destruction of their habitat, introduction of invasive trout, and the chytrid disease.
