Vicuñas in Atacama (We're going there) Vicuñas produce small amounts of extremely fine wool, which is very expensive because the animal can only be shorn every 3 years. Although their coats may look thin, they are made up of insulating hairs that are softer and warmer than any other animal.
pronounced "yama"
I like his hair cut. Wikipedia says "Some alpacas will spit when looked at, others will never spit"
Similar to llamas, alpacas and vicuñas, guanacos have thicker skin in their necks. Used for fighting in competition for mates, they have thickened to be more protective. Bolivians use the necks of these animals to make shoes, flattening and pounding the skin to be used for the soles.
