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.
This trait, called compensatory growth, is likely to be an adaptation to it having been pruned (eaten) by a megaherbivore in the past â one that is no longer present in espinal. We think that this missing species is the guanaco.
