More graceful than the Lama,is the Vicuña ( Auchenia vicugna ).

The crown, the top of the neck, the trunk and the upper parts of the limbs have a peculiar, reddish-yellow color (vicuña or vigogne color); the underside of the neck and the inner surface of the limbs are ocher; the 12 cm. long chest hairs and lower body are white. - Romans Landing

Waterbuck - Charles II. signing the Charter of Pennsylvania
The tract of country west of the Delaware was, in 1681, granted to William Penn, son of the distinguished Admiral Penn, as a reward for the services of his father. The boundaries of the tract are definitely given us in the charter, but are too minute to be here specified. The whole region was afterwards called Pennsylvania, constituting a state of very large and regular dimensions. The origin of the name is beautifully and ingeniously accounted for, in a letter written by William Penn: "This day (January 5, 1681)," says he, "after many waitings, watchings, solicitings, and disputes in the council, my country was confirmed to me under the great seal of England, with large powers and privileges, by the name of Pennsylvania; a name the king would give it in honor of my father - Harrison boar
Harrison boar - Columbus before Ferdinand and Isabella
With this grand object before him, he first submitted his theory of a western route to the Indies, to John the Second, king of Portugal. He met with no countenance from this quarter. His project, in its vastness, was in advance of the comprehension of the age. John was not unwilling clandestinely to avail himself of information communicated to him by Columbus, but he would enter into no stipulation to aid him in the enterprise. Leaving the court of Lisbon in disgust, in the latter part of 1484, Columbus repaired to the Spanish sovereigns, Ferdinand and Isabella. The time of the application was peculiarly unfavorable, as the nation was then in the midst of the Moorish war, and needed for its prosecution all the pecuniary resources of the state. The persons of influence also in the court, were destitute of those enlarged views, which are essential to a just appreciation of the scheme that fired the great mind of Columbus. With these causes of discouragement, and the submission of his proposal on the part of the sovereigns to a council chiefly of ecclesiastics, he had little reason to expect a favorable issue. After waiting years in the most agitating suspense and doubt (for the council would come to no decision), he was preparing to abandon the suit. Pressing the court for a definite answer at that juncture, they at last gave him to understand, that his scheme was "vain, impracticable, and resting on grounds too weak to merit the support of the government." In deep despondency he quitted the court, and took his way to the south, as if in desperation, to seek other patronage in other quarters. - Bison
Bison ( Bos bison ). - Wisent t; it can be seen with certainty that the Wisent used to be widespread throughout Europe and much of Asia. In the heyday of Greece, he was frequent in the present-day Boelgarije; in Middel-Europe, he was found almost everywhere at the time. Aristotle calls him "Bonassus", and gives him a clear description; Pliny mentions him under the name "Bison"; ancient writings mention this animal, in the 6th and 7th centuries; According to the Nibelungen song, it appeared in Waasgau. - Merino sheep
The most advantageous of all House sheep is nowadays considered the Merino sheep ( Ovis aries hispanica), which has acquired its characteristic peculiarities in Spain and was used successively to breed almost all European varieties. Of medium size and full-bodied, it is distinguished by its large head, which is flat on the forehead, arched along the back of the nose, and blunted at the snout; it has small eyes, large tear grooves, and moderately long, pointed ears. - Beisa

The oldest civilized peoples, including the Indians, had no other Domestic Cattle than the Zeboe, or moreover, a breed that differs relatively little from them, as well as the long-horned breed of ancient Egyptians. Since the Zeboe beef is nowhere near in the wild, and since no bones of this animal have been found in the ancient layers of the earth, it is obvious that the Zeboe has evolved from other forms of Cattle. - Moon Sheep
Moon Sheep ( Ovis tragelaphus ), has a long drooping mane which makes a very peculiar impression. The coat consists of long, shaggy bristles and fine, frizzy woolly hair, which cover the entire body. The former extend to an upright, short, reminiscent of a mane crest at the top of the neck, neck and shoulders, and develop on the front and underside of the torso into dense, almost ground-hanging manes, which begin the throat and extend along the neck and forelimbs. - Mouflon
Mouflon ( Ovis musimon ), the only Wild Sheep, which inhabits Europe - the mountains of Sardinia and Corsica. It is generally believed that the Mouflon was also found in other parts of Europe in earlier times, and was also found on the Balearic Islands and in Greece, among others; however, there is no firm evidence to support this view. Today the Mouflon is still found in troops, which are said to often consist of 50 copies, but usually have far fewer members.
