Salinas monjita is a small bird of the tyrant flycatcher family. It lives only in high-altitude salt flats in northwestern Argentina.
Salinas monjita is adapted to life on saline plains where there are almost no other birds. It helps control insect populations and indicates the health of unique high-altitude salt flats.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
