There is a lot of wild life in the Andes like: Alpacas, Llamas, chinchilla, vicuña, and relatives of the camel, thrive [grow very well] above 4,000 meters. Pumas and condors are found throughout the range of the Andes . The most important domestic animal of the same family as the llama is the camel. The llama, found in predominantly in Peru and Bolivia , can live at high altitudes. It is used as a beast of burden and yields wool, milk and meat.
The alpaca, an animal related to the llama, is raised for its wool. Wild animals include the vicuña, which is another member of the camel, and the chinchilla, which is a member of the rodent family; it is prized for their pelts. The birds of the Andes include the condor [the largest of all birds of prey].
