'camelid' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'pack animal not mink injured' is the wordplay.
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'injured' is an anagram indicator.
'pack'+'animal'='packanimal'
'packanimal' with 'mink' taken away is 'pacaal'.
'pacaal' is an anagram of 'ALPACA'.
