The Guanaco is a large camelid with a graceful neck and long legs, covered in thick, woolly fur that is typically light brown to reddish-brown on its back and sides, fading to white on its belly. It has a distinctive grey face with small, pointed ears, setting it apart from its domesticated relatives.
