It would seem that the lineages of the Maned Wolf and the Falkland Islands Wolf separated in North America ; canids did not appear in South America until roughly 3 million years ago in a paleozoogeographical event called the Great American Biotic Interchange, in which the continents of North and South America were newly connected by the formation of the Isthmus of Panama.

An archipelago in the region of the Falkland Islands appeared on Portuguese maps from the early 16th century.

Following the departure of the Spanish settlers, the Falkland Islands became the domain of whalers and sealers who used the islands to shelter from the worst of the South Atlantic weather.

By merit of their location, the Falkland Islands have often been the last refuge for ships damaged at sea.

The following have served as Commander British Forces Falkland Islands / South Atlantic Islands:

No human casualties from mines or UXO have been reported in the Falkland Islands since 1984, and no civilian mine casualties have ever occurred on the islands.

Argentina thus argues that, in the case of the Falkland Islands, the principle of territorial integrity should have precedence over self-determination.

He added: " We are in some danger of resting our position too exclusively upon the existence, the nature and the wishes of the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands ... if the population of the Falkland Islands did not desire to be British, the principle that the Queen wishes no unwilling subjects would long ago have prevailed ; but we should create great difficulties for ourselves in other contexts, as well as in this context, if we rested our action purely and exclusively on the notion of restoring tolerable, acceptable conditions and self-determination to our fellow Britons on the Falkland Islands ....

The British people have become uneasily aware that their American allies would prefer the Falkland Islands to pass out of Britain's possession into hands which, if not wholly American, might be amenable to American control.

The Falkland Islands have a large non-native born population, mainly from Britain, but also from Saint Helena.

Southernmost South America ( Tierra del Fuego where it abuts the Drake Passage and such subantarctic islands such as the South Shetland Islands and the Falkland Islands have tundra climates of slight thermal range in which no month is as warm as. These subantarctic lowlands are found closer to the equator than the coastal tundras of the Arctic basin.

As was customary, if the King died first, the Dowager of Scotland would have for her lifetime her jointure houses of Falkland Palace, Stirling Castle, Dingwall Castle, and Threave, with the rentals of the corresponding Earldoms and Lordships.

There are a number of insular species, including the Clarion Wren and Socorro Wren from the Revillagigedo Islands in the Pacific Ocean, and the Cobb's Wren in the Falkland Islands, but few Caribbean islands have a species of wren, with only the Southern House Wren in the Lesser Antilles, the Cozumel Wren of Cozumel Island, and the highly restricted Zapata Wren in a single swamp in Cuba.

Falkland Islanders have also been nicknamed " Kelpers " from time to time, from collecting seaweed partly for this purpose.

However, in 2009, this hypothesis was disproved when DNA analysis identified the Falkland Island wolf's closest living relative as the Maned Wolf ( Chrysocyon brachyurus )— an unusually long-legged, fox-like South American canid, from which it separated about 6. 7 million years ago.

However, in 2009, a cladistic analysis of DNA identified the Falkland Island wolf's closest living relative as the maned wolf ( Chrysocyon brachyurus )— an unusually long-legged, fox-like South American canid, from which it separated about 6. 7 million years ago.

One study based on DNA evidence, published in 2009, showed that the extinct Falkland Islands wolf was the most closely related species to the maned wolf in historical times, and shared a common ancestor with it about 6 million years ago.
