The Andean Beast is a term used to describe four animals native to the Andes Mountains in South America. These animals are the LLAMA, ALPACA, vicuña, and PUMA. The LLAMA is a domesticated pack animal that is used for transport and wool production. The ALPACA is a domesticated species of South American camelid, similar to the LLAMA, but smaller and bred specifically for its soft, luxurious wool. The vicuña is a wild relative of the ALPACA, and is the smallest of the South American camelids. The PUMA is a large cat native to the Andes Mountains, and is also known as the cougar or mountain lion.
