Abstract

The newborn guanaco ( Lama quanaco e ̈ ) is covered by an extra fetal membrane. It shares this characteristic with the newborns of old-world camelids. This membrane, which is lubricated by the watery amnionic fluid typical for camelids, facilitates the delivery of the conceptus. the newborn gets rid of this membrane itself, since in camelids mothers do not lick their offsprings.
