Best Answer

"Vicuna" refers to a large South American animal, a camelid, understood to be related to the llama and perhaps also the alpaca. Its natural habitat is the alpine regions of the Andes mountains. "Vicuna" may also refer to the very fine (and valuable) wool which comes from the animal of the same name.
