The guanaco is camelid native to South America, closely related to the llama. Its name comes from the Quechua world huanaco. Young guanacos are called chulengos. One of the adaptation of this animal is to socialize. They are garrulous folk, living in herds usually composed of up to ten female, their young, and one dominant male. Baby guancos are adorable and the little four-legged ones can walk competently only five minutes after birth. Female guancos have a lengthy eleven-and-a-half month gestation period, after which a single chulengo is born between the South American summer months of December and March.
Lapilli: Rock fragments between 2 and 64 mm (0.08-2.5 in) in diameter that were ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption are called lapilli.
