That’s true. I have no idea what furs they produced. They must have been amazingly valuable to be wanted across the Atlantic. Not cheap.

Jaguar? Farther south you’d have alpacas & llamas, but I think they would have been more like wool shipments than pelts.

I think of Central & South America, sure they weren’t shipping feathers more than fur? They had a habit of shipping exotic animals willy nilly.
