Guanaco
Guanaco, (Lama Guanacoe),
South American member of the camel family, Camelidae (order
Artiodactyla), closely related to the alpaca, llama, and vicuña, which
are known collectively as lamoids. Unlike camels, lamoids do not have
the characteristic camel humps; they are slender-bodied animals with
long legs and necks, short tails, small heads, and large, pointed ears.
They graze on grass and other plants. When annoyed, they spit. Lamoids
are able to interbreed and to produce fertile offspring.
