Camelids are a family of animals that includes species such as camels, llamas, alpacas, guanacos, and vicunas. They are known for their long necks, slender legs, and unique adaptations to various environments, particularly arid regions. Camelids are primarily herbivorous and have specialized stomachs that allow them to efficiently digest tough plant materials. These animals are native to different parts of the world, with camels found mainly in North Africa and Middle East, while the other species are native to South America. Camelids are also valued for their wool, meat, and as pack animals, making them important to many cultures and economies.
