  1. This photo makes me smile. It reminds me of some of my wildlife experiences with pronghorn, a North American ungulate that somewhat resembles the guanaco. Good photo and nice composition! Posted 9 years ago

The guanaco is a camelid native to South America that stands between 1 and 1.2 metres at the shoulder and weighs about 90 kg . The colour varies very little , 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'' . Young guanacos are called ''chulengo''.
