🦙Guanaco
O guanaco (nome científico: Lama guanicoe) é um camelídeo nativo da América do Sul, cuja altura varia entre 107 e 122 cm. Pesa cerca de 90 kg. A cor varia muito pouco (ao contrário da lhama), variando de um marrom-claro a um mais escuro e canela para sombreamento, com pelagem branca no tórax e no abdômen. A face de um guanaco tem um tom acinzentado e as orelhas, pequenas, ficam em pé. Sua característica marcante são seus grandes olhos castanhos (utilizados para se manter atento a qualquer perigo), a forma corporal equilibrada e a enorme energia. O nome guanaco vem da língua sul-americana quéchua (da palavra huanaco). O guanaco, assim como a lhama, é um mamífero ruminante da América do Sul. Ao contrário das outras espécies de camelídeos, este animal tem pelagem mais curta, podendo passar quatro dias sem água. Vive em grandes alturas, próximas aos 4 000 metros. Vive principalmente no Peru.
