Domesticated South American hoofed mammal,
Lama pacos, of the camel family, found in
Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, and herded at high
elevations in the Andes. About 1 m/3 ft tall
at the shoulder with neck and head another 60
cm/2 ft, it is bred mainly for its long,
fine, silky wool, and like the llama was
probably bred from the wild guanaco.
