Twenty-five pairs were released in the Argentinean province of Tierra
del Fuego in 1946. As has occurred with many non-native species
introduced into Nova Scoptia, Canada, and North America they have been
very successful in their range expansion and are impacting local
ecosystems. A short story can be found at the following URL:
