Cattle burn as ‘monster’ wildfires rage in Argentina ranchlands

CAPILLA DEL MONTE, Argentina (Reuters) – Wildfires have burned through 40,000 hectares (400 square kilometers) of Argentina’s central farming region of Cordoba, according to officials, leaving charred cattle, houses, forests and fields in their wake.

Images from the hard-hit town of Capilla del Monte in the key ranching region showed cows completely burned and blackened amid scenes of decimated plants and trees. Locals described the sound of the blazes as like a “monster”.

“It was a sound like a turbine, like a growl, it sounded like a monster, literally. And we escaped. We escaped from something that was coming to eat us,” said Hugo
