Definition
A genus of South American animals that includes llamas and related species, known for their use as pack animals.
Etymology
From Quechua or related South American indigenous languages, referring to llama-like creatures. The scientific Latin suffix '-ia' was added when the genus was formally classified.
Kelly Says
When scientists need to name new animals, they often borrow indigenous words and Latinize them—'auchenia' shows exactly how Andean peoples' own names for their animals got transformed into scientific jargon by European naturalists.
