The picture in Anaxial's Roster looks distinctly Andean to me. In particular, the back appears flatter than that of the Alticamelus, which looks awfully camel-ish to me. Also, the neck looks straighter, like the Andean Llama, rather than curvy, like the Alticamelus.

That said, how bad could it be if you got Gregged on it? Easier to deal with than Elmal, surely. YalticameliMV.
