Vicuña
(Lama, or Vicugna, vicugna),
South American member of the camel family, Camelidae (order
Artiodactyla), that is closely related to the alpaca, guanaco, and llama
(known collectively as lamoids). Depending on the authority, the llama,
alpaca, and guanaco may be classified as distinct species of llama lama gala ma. Because of differences in the incisor teeth, however, some authorities place the vicuña in a separate genus, Vicuna. Most vicunas inhabit Peru, with smaller numbers found in Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.
