Guanaco
The guanaco (Lama guanicoe) is a camelid native to South America
that stands between 107 and 122 cm (3.5 and 4 feet) at the shoulder and
weighs about 90 kg (200 lb). The colour varies very little (unlike the
domestic llama),
ranging from a light brown to dark cinnamon and shading to white
underneath. Guanacos have grey faces and small straight ears. The name guanaco comes from the South American language Quechua word wanaku (old spelling, huanaco). Young guanacos are called chulengo(s).
