Definition
- 1(Vanellus chilensis) Ave zancuda que ha evolucionado hacia una adaptación a la vida lejos del mar. Frecuenta los campos, en los que aprovecha los terrenos húmedos y recién arados para alimentarse. Su grito desapacible anuncia la lluvia. Es utilizado como mascota, quebrándole las alas, y defiende su territorio con picotazos contra cualquier extraño que se aventure. En Chile existe la subespecie Vanellus chilensis chilensis, llamada queltehue, que se encuentra desde Atacama hasta Chiloé, y el queltehue austral, más al sur.
