Los guardaparques nos pusieron en conocimiento que esta hembra se encontraba al costado de la ruta, seguramente herida por otros de su propia especie, muy dócil y en muy malas condiciones sanitarias, la pudimos ver durante las 2 visitas al parque a unos 400 metros antes del puente, la circulación vehicular era nula, el micro que lleva y trae al personal y nuestro auto, una semana antes el parque había estado cerrado largo tiempo por la crecida del río.
