![20160331_105957 D3S.jpg - Guanacos live in herds composed of females, their young, and a dominant male. Bachelor males form separate herds. While female groups tend to remain small, often containing no more than 10 adults, bachelor herds may contain as many as 50 males. When they feel threatened, guanacos alert the herd to flee with a high-pitched, bleating call. The male usually runs behind the herd to defend them. They can run at 56 km (35 mi) per hour, often over steep and rocky terrain.[7] They are also excellent swimmers. A guanaco's typical lifespan is 20 to 25 years.](20160331_105957 D3S.jpg) |
