Fauna of South America
The fauna of South America consists of a huge variety of unique animals some of which evolved in relative isolation. The isolation of South America had an abrupt end some few million years ago when the Isthmus of Panama was formed allowing small scale migration of animals that would result in the Great American Interchange. South America is the continent with the largest number or recorded bird species.[1]

gollark: Since my current device doesn't have a replaceable battery, and is becoming increasingly less usable, I don't know *what* I'll replace it with which won't break in the same ways.
gollark: My *previous* phone became unusable due to not actually holding in μUSB cables, preventing me from charging it. Though I think that's partly because the port was mildly out of spec.
gollark: Also, my phone (~2 years old) has a USB-C port which cables randomly come loose from now.
gollark: I'd prefer the ability to swap out batteries over waterproofing.
gollark: I have a long wishlist for phones, but I think the most important thing is actual replaceable parts.
