An animal belonging to the camel family (Camelidae), including camels, llamas, alpacas, guanacos, and vicuñas.
From Latin 'camelus' combined with Greek '-melid' (family suffix in scientific naming). The term is used in zoological classification.
All cyamelids share a surprising ability to survive without drinking for weeks by extracting water from vegetation, but llamas and alpacas in the Andes actually live in environments with plenty of water, unlike their desert cousins.
