The Vicuña

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Mammalia

Order: Artiodactyla

Family: Camelidae

Genus: Vicugna

Species: V. vicugna
The national animal of Peru is the Vicuña. The Vicunas length of head and body ranges from 1.45-1.60m (about 5 feet), shoulder height from 75-85cm (around 3 feet), weight from 35-65kg (under 150lbs). The Vicuñas fur is the softest fur in Peru and they almost went extinct because of too much hunting. The Vicuñas Body Length: 138-151 cm / 4.6-5 ft.

Shoulder Height: 86-96 cm / 2.8-3.2 ft.

Tail Length: 23 cm / 9.2 in.

Weight: 45-55 kg / 99-121 lb.

The overall color of the soft wooly coat is ochre, light cinnamon, or reddish brown, with the underparts, insides of the legs, and underside of the head being dirty white. On the chest, at the base of the neck, is a peculiar, pompon-like 'mane' of silky white hairs which may be 20-30 cm / 8-12 inches in length. The vicuña is extremely slender, with long skinny limbs and neck. The head is small and wedge shaped, with small, triangular ears.
