Tomando Mate - Argentina

Gaucho taking mate in Argentina. Tomando mate or "taking mate," is a cultural practice, which refers literally to drinking a semi-bitter herbal infusion of crushed yerba mate leaves in hot water. One takes mate by putting the loose, crushed leaves in a mate gourd, pouring hot water (about 2 ounces at a time) over the leaves, and using a bombilla, or a metal straw with a strainer on the end to separate the water from the leaves, to drink the beverage. Few Argentines like tomando mate alone, however. This is an intensely social activity, and one person holds the thermos, pours new water into the gourd and passes it to each person in turn

Amargasaurus
Amargasaurus lived 130 million years ago in what is now Argentina, and represents a unique group of dwarfed, short-necked sauropods. Amargasaurus
Amargasaurus belongs to a peculiar group of sauropods from Gondwana, known from the Late Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous. They are related to Diplodocus, a giant, long-necked sauropod from the Late Jurassic of North America. However, they went down a different evolutionary path to their ancestors and evolved a much shorter neck and a drastically reduced overall body size
