Guanaco (Lama guanicoe) - a photo on Flickriver

            Guanaco (Lama guanicoe) 20240210
Photographed in Torres del Paine National Park (Chile) on the shores of Lake Nordenskjöld.

Geographic area
Guanacos are found in South America, from northern Peru southward. Their range includes Peru, western Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Tierra del Fuego, and Navarino Island (Fowler, 2010). Guanacos were introduced from Argentina to Staats Island, one of the Falkland Islands, in the 1930s.

Habitat
Guanacos are the mostly widely distributed of the four species of South American camelids and they occupy the most diverse range of habitats . Adapted to harsh, highly seasonal environments, guanacos are able to cope with such starkly contrasting climates as those of the hyper-arid Atacama Desert in northern Chile and the perpetually wet Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America. Guanacos prefer open, dry habitats, and they avoid steep slopes, cliffs, and rock. 

Physical Description
Guanacos have long, slender necks and long legs typical of camelids. Adults are 90 to 130 cm high at the shoulders, and adult body mass is between 90 and 140 kg, with the smallest individuals found in northern Peru and the largest in southern Chile. All guanacos have pelage that is light to dark reddish brown, with white countershading on the chest, belly, and legs, and gray or black coloration of the head.
