What does VICUNA mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small, slender South American relative of the llama that lives high in the Andes and has very fine wool.
The vicuna is the smallest of the camel family found in the Americas and grazes on open mountain grassland at great altitude. Its fleece is among the softest and costliest natural fibres, which led to heavy hunting before protective laws allowed the herds to recover. The name reaches English through Spanish from a word in the Quechua language, and the same word names the cloth woven from its wool.
