Abstract
- The article offers information about wild guanacos (Lama guanicoe) including its social structure, density, and management in southern Neuquén Province, Argentina. It notes that guanacos are the most abundant wild South American ungulate. However, it mentions that its number has been declining in the last century. It adds that wildlife agencies are encouraging live-shearing of wild guanacos to help conserve its population. It reveals that population density between winter 2004 and summer 2005 was the same in both seasons but the male group declined during spring. It states that foraging was the most common activity in both seasons.
