Guanaco

The guanaco is native to Patagonia and a member of the camel family. A dominant male may have as many as thirty or forty females to service in his herd . He has his herd and his territory. And he protects both fiercely.

Single, solitary males stand alone on hilltops eyeing off the herd of females and awaiting their chance to challenge.

If guanocos are captured and fenced they cease breeding so they are left running free.
