Guanaco
The guanaco (Lama guanicoe) is a member of the Camelidae family, the Camelids. They are found in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina and Paraguay. They have double coats like llamas, one outer coat, the guard hair, and one inner coat, which is soft. Guanacos have been hunted for their meat and fur. It is believed that guanacos are the ancestors of the llama and alpaca. Interesting fact: Guanacos can run as fast as 56 kilometers per hour!
