Ichu ranked second highest in production per hect- are in 1970, but was the least preferred of all vegetation types (Fig. 7). Nearly 75% of the production was from Festuca dolichophylla in 1970. Peccoy occurred on the flats as irregularly-shaped patches or on the slopes as linear downhill lines and covered of the area. Sixty percent of the production in Peccoy was from a large, coarse, and unpalatable bunch grass, Stipa ichu, in 1970. Vicufias showed no feeding preference for Peccoy, but fed on the small understory plants in both Peccoy and Ichu. The vicuna is mainly adapted for grazing of small forbs and small perennial grasses close to the ground and.
