Camel's cousin is a term used to refer to four different animals: the LLAMA, GUANACO, ALPACA, and TAN. The LLAMA is a domesticated South American camelid, with long fur and a short tail, that is used as a pack animal and for its wool. The GUANACO is a wild South American camelid, similar to the LLAMA but with shorter fur and a longer tail. The ALPACA is a domesticated South American camelid, smaller than the LLAMA, with long, soft fur and no tail. The TAN is a small, wild South American camelid, similar to the GUANACO but with shorter fur and no tail.
