The family Camelidae includes the camels, llamas, vicunas, and guanacos of the world. There are six species of camelids that differ in tremendously. Those found in northern Africa and the Middle East are large, have short course fur, and either one to two fatty humps for water conservation, an adaptation to life in the desert, while those found in South and Central America are medium sized with long soft fur, to aid in the cooler climates of their mountainous environments. All camelids have long necks and are herbivorous. All Camelidae are members of the Artiodactyla.
