SO WHAT IS A LLAMA?
A llama is like a camel without a hump but it also has a woolly coat.
A llama is domesticated – it isn’t wild but always belongs to someone.
Where do llamas come from? Llamas come from the high mountains of the Andes in South American countries and most llamas live in or near the Andes. Other countries now breed llamas for their wool, to use as pack animals on ranches, and even as guardians for herds of sheep. Another reason for bringing llamas to other countries is Llama Therapy. Grownups and children can get a lot of help from contact and friendship with a llama!
Why do people keep llamas? In the past and in the mountains llamas were used as pack animals. They are big and strong with flat backs – perfect for loading up with a pack of goods for transport through mountain landscapes! Today llamas are kept and bred for their wool. Llama wool is warmer than sheep wool and less itchy. It is naturally ‘hypoallergenic’ so less likely to cause allergies.
Why do we love the llama? Could it be their funny faces? They look quite human in some ways, but their big eyes and banana-ears make them look surprised all the time. Then they are woolly in an untidy comic way. Even their movements are comic, although they are fast and powerful as well. They are super-intelligent and can learn routines. They live in close families, just like us. Llamas are so loveable!
