Abstract

South American camelids (SAC) resist the adverse environment of Andean altiplano where economical production of other domestic species is not possible. SAC production is the most important subsistence media of the Andean communities. SAC belong to the family Camelidae and form the genera Lama and Vicugna. They present particular anatomic and physiological characteristics probably related to their adaptation to the restricted oxygen and forages conditions of the high altitudes where they live.
