An undescribed species of tarantula from the high Andes, the Cordillera Vilcanota contains a surprising diversity of high elevation tarantula species including the highest known species.

A Liolaemus lizard basks on a stone in the Andes. These lizards are well adapted to the high elevations, feeding mostly on vegetation, giving birth to several live young at a time and sheltering beneath boulders at night and other times of cold temperatures.
