In embedded systems, the software typically resides in firmware, such as a flash memory or read-only memory (ROM) chip, in contrast to a general-purpose computer that loads its programs into random access memory (RAM) each time.
The guanaco is a South American member of the camel family, Camelidae (order Artiodactyla). It is closely related to the alpaca, llama, and vicuna, and together these four animals are known collectively as lamoids. Unlike camels, lamoids do not have the characteristic camel hump.
When a female guanaco gives birth, her newborn, known as a chulengo, is able to walk immediately. Chulengos can keep up with the herd right away. Guanacos live on land high in the Andes mountainsâup to 13,000 feet (3,962 meters) above sea levelâas well as on the lower plateaus, plains, and coastlines of Peru, Chile, and Argentina. Guanacos were once over hunted for their thick, warm wool. Now they thrive in areas protected by law.
