Animal of the Day: Vicuna!

A Vicuna can only be shorn every three years and must be caught from the wild to do so, thusly vicuna wool is a rare non edible delicacy. Though I suppose it's edible if you really want. In Inca culture it was illegal for any none royality to wear Vicuna wool.

The Vicuna is a camelid and is related to alpacas and llamas!

The Vicuna is the national animal of Peru.

Vicunas or considered to be more graceful and delicate than their relative the Guanaco.

Vicunas are shy. Vicunas lick salt from rocks and drink saltwater, they have a salt fetish.
