The New World Camelid refers to a group of animals that includes llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos. The antonyms for this term would be Old World Camelids, which are camels and dromedaries. Old World Camelids are native to the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, while New World Camelids are native to South America. The two groups of camels are distinguished by their physical features such as the number of humps on their backs, their size, and their adaptability to different environments. While Old World Camelids have been domesticated for thousands of years for transportation, meat, and milk, New World Camelids were used primarily for their wool and as pack animals.
