Vicugna pacos is a domesticated species of South American camelid.
Vicugna pacos are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of southern Peru, northern Bolivia, Ecuador, and northern Chile at an altitude of 3,500 m (11,500 ft) to 5,000 m (16,000 ft) above sea-level, throughout the year. Vicugna pacos are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, Vicugna pacos were not bred to be beasts of burden but were bred specifically for their fiber. Vicugna pacos fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, much as wool is. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru, 12 as classified in Australia and 16 as classified in the United States.
