Llama (Lama) are descendants of the American camel. Being a "New Wolrd Camel", llamas do not have the typical humps like African camels and are smaller too. In general one differs llamas in two groups: the domesticated llamas (Llama glama) and the wild living Guanacos ((Lama guanicoe).
Llamas live in the Andes and and have been tamed more than 5000 years ago for their meat and wool along as draft animals.

Llamas have long ears that slightly resemble bananas, because of their inward curve. They have long and soft fur that can be sheared and spun. However it is slightly less fine than that of the alpaca.

The spitting, for which llamas are well known, happens to discipline members of the herd; probably like grumbling humans. Only if llamas get used to humans too much understanding themselves as being one of them, they happen to spit at humans. Otherwise llamas are very social, curious and sensitive creatures, that are able to calm us down and thus are often used in therapy.

Did you know that one llama can protect a cattle against wolves and coyotes? It's probably their loud clamour which shoos them away.

You can familiarize our llama to your company as much as you like, it will surely never spit. Still it has a calming influence and is curious about the new family.
