In December 2023, the United Nations General Assembly declared the year 2024 as the International Year of the Camelids.
Camelids are ruminant herbivores.
They have thin neck, long legs, and sharp teeth.
They look similar to camels.
They do not have hooves but have two toes on their feet.
Camelids are found in the highlands of the Andes mountain range, arid and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia.
The United Nations has designated 2024 as the International Year of the Camelids, noting that camelids are a vital livelihood for millions of poor families living in some of Earth's most hostile ecosystems.
