What's the difference between guanaco and huanaco?

Guanaco


Definition:

  • (n.) A South American mammal (Auchenia huanaco), allied to the llama, but of larger size and more graceful form, inhabiting the southern Andes and Patagonia. It is supposed by some to be the llama in a wild state.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Blood counts of healthy juvenile and adult llamas (Lama glama) and guanacoes (L guanacoe) showed that guanacoes have higher red cell counts, haemoglobin values and packed cell volumes than llamas.
  • (2) In two Camelidae species, guanacos and llamas, only, downward trends were found, whereas in donkeys, both types of changes: seasonal variations with the maximal level during autumn and an upward long-term trend were found.
  • (3) Similarly, the mouse recognizes sites containing residues 44 and 62 in guanaco cytochrome c, and residues 44 and 89 in rabbit cytochrome c. In none of these instances has a change in sequence failed to produce an antibody response.
  • (4) The primary structure of the hemoglobin from guanaco (Lama guanacoë, Tylopoda) is presented.
  • (5) Likewise, the low P50 of guanaco blood in comparison with human blood can be explained by a reduced interaction of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate of guanaco hemoglobin compared to the human pigment.
  • (6) Preliminary blood typing tests were made on New World camelids, guanacos, llamas, and two hybrids.
  • (7) Swab specimens for fungal isolation were collected from the healthy conjunctival sacs of 3 species of captive camelids (Lama glama, L guanicoe, L pacos) and llama-guanaco hybrids.
  • (8) Guanaco hemoglobin has identical alpha-chains with alpaca and identical beta-chains with all Lama species with the exception that one guanaco in this study had alanine and serine in the ratio 1:1 in position beta 135 whereas a second individual had alanine only.
  • (9) In llama, guanaco and alpaca the NORs number averaged 6 per cell, this being higher than in vicuña where the average was 3.
  • (10) The DNA composition and the in situ hybridization of satellite fractions were analysed in the New World camelids llama, alpaca, guanaco and vicuña.
  • (11) We have measured the partial pressure of O2 at 50% saturation (P50) and the concentration of various phosphate compounds in the erythrocytes of the bar-headed goose and the guanaco to establish the cause of the high blood O2 affinity in animals who normally reside at high altitude.
  • (12) Now there were no more vicuña and guanaco, the wild llamas of the Andes, no suri, the giant flightless bird.
  • (13) The identification is described of all of the antigenic determinants of mouse and guanaco cytochrome c that elicit an antibody response in rabbits, and those of the rabbit and guanaco proteins that elicity antibodies in the mouse.
  • (14) The mucous membrane of the first and second compartments (ventral regions) as well as of the third compartment of Lama guanacoe and Lama lamae stomach shows tubular glands opening into pits.
  • (15) Rabbit, mouse, and guanaco cytochromes c differ from each other by only two amino acid residues.
  • (16) Seven populations of site-specific antibodies were isolated from each of three sera of rabbits immunized against glutaraldehyde-polymerized horse cytochrome c. The antibodies were separated using an immunoadsorption scheme which employed the following cytochromes c: horse, beef, guanaco, rabbit, mouse testicular, pigeon, and the cyanogen-bromide cleaved fragment of the rabbit protein containing residues 1 to 65.
  • (17) The close relationship between llama and alpaca suggests that they both originate from the wild guanaco, and there is no domesticated form of vicuna.
  • (18) Guanaco, llama, and alpaca show a comparable high blood oxygen affinity, caused by the substitution beta 2(NA2)His----Asn, as an adaptation to life at high altitude.
  • (19) Since the data suggest that the domesticated species llama and alpaca originate from the guanaco, it seems likely that beta 135Ala is the common form.
  • (20) Healthy conjunctival sacs of 88 animals of 3 species of captive camelids (Lama glama, Lama guanicoe, Lama pacos) and llama-guanaco hybrids were sampled for bacterial and mycoplasmal flora.
