Question: What domesticated species of South American camelid does Jane Hamilton-Merritt raise?
Context: Cucurbita fraterna, also known as Cucurbita pepo" subsp.  "fraterna, is a mesophyte plant species of the genus "Cucurbita".  It is native to Tamaulipas and Nuevo León, Mexico.  It has not been domesticated.  It is the progenitor and nearest relative of the domesticated species "Cucurbita pepo" and wild "C. pepo" is still found in the same areas as "C. fraterna".  It was formally described by Liberty Hyde Bailey in 1943, in "Gentes Herbarum". The domestic dog ("Canis lupus familiaris" or "Canis familiaris") is a member of genus "Canis" (canines) that forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant carnivore.  The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa, with modern wolves not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct.  The dog was the first domesticated species and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes. Domesticated species and the human populations that domesticate them are typified by a mutualistic relationship of interdependence, in which humans have over thousands of years modified the genomics of domesticated species.  Genomics is the study of the structure, content, and evolution of genomes, or the entire genetic information of organisms.  Domestication is the process by which humans alter the morphology and genes of targeted organisms by selecting for desirable traits. A llama is a South American camelid. Hueque or Chilihueque is a South American camelid variety or species that existed in central and south-central Chile in Pre-Hispanic and early colonial times.  There are two main hypotheses on their status among South American camelids: the first one suggest that they are locally domesticated guanacos and the second that they are a variety of llamas brought from the north into south-central Chile.  The alpaca has also been suggested as a possible identity.  Chilihueques became extinct in the 16th or 17th century being replaced by European livestock.  The causes of its extinction are unknown. The origin of the domestic dog is not clear.  The domestic dog is a member of genus "Canis" (canines) that forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant carnivore.  The closest living relative of the dog is the gray wolf and there is no evidence of any other canine contributing to its genetic lineage.  The dog and the extant gray wolf form two sister clades, with modern wolves not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated.  The archaeological record shows the first undisputed dog remains buried beside humans 14,700 years ago, with disputed remains occurring 36,000 years ago.  These dates imply that the earliest dogs arose in the time of human hunter-gatherers and not agriculturists.  The dog was the first domesticated species. Emmer wheat, also known as farro especially in Italy, or hulled wheat, is a type of awned wheat.  Emmer is a tetraploid (2n=4x=28 chromosomes).  The domesticated species are "Triticum turgidum" subsp.  "dicoccum" and "Triticum turgidum "conv."  durum".  The wild species is called "Triticum turgidum" subsp.  "dicoccoides".  The principal difference between the wild and the domestic species is that the ripened seed head of the wild species shatters and spreads the seed onto the ground, while in the domesticated emmer, the seed head remains intact, thus making it easier for humans to harvest the grain. An alpaca ("Vicugna pacos") is a domesticated species of South American camelid.  It resembles a small llama in appearance. Jane Hamilton-Merritt (born Mary Jane LaRowe, 1937), in Noble County, Indiana is a retired college professor, photojournalist, author, and animal rights and animal husbandry advocate.  She resides in Redding, Connecticut.  In 1999, she was inducted into the Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame.  Some of her work has focused on breeding and raising Llamas and Alpaca. The llama ( ; ] ] ] ) (Lama glama) is a domesticated South American camelid, widely used as a meat and pack animal by Andean cultures since the Pre-Columbian era.
Answer: Alpaca
