in zoology, a name given to a species of camel, commonly though improperly reckoned a spe- cies of sheep; and known among many by the name of the Indian sheep, or Peruvian sheep. See CAME- LUS, p. 60.

This creature has been accounted a sheep, because its hair is so long as to resemble wool, and it is produc- tionously thick, its head and neck alone having more wool on them than the whole body of our largest sheep. Its body is clothed in the same proportion with a woolly hair equally fine.
