Vicuña

Weight: 35 kg (77 pound) – 65 kg (143 pound) Height: 75 cm – 85 cm The length of head and body ranges from 1.45 to 1.60 m (about 5 ft); shoulder height is from 75 to 85 cm (around 3 ft); its weight is from 35 to 65 kg (under 150 lb). It falls prey to the puma and culpeo, a South American fox. To prevent poaching, a round-up is held every year, and all vicuñas with fur longer than 2.5 cm are shorn.
