Llama
Lama glama

The Llama is a domesticated South American
camelid, widely used as a meat and pack animal by
Andean cultures since pre-Hispanic times. They are
very social animals and live with other llamas as a
herd. The wool produced by a llama is very soft and
lanolin-free. Llamas are intelligent and can learn
simple tasks after a few repetitions. They tend to
live in very dry climates and get most of the moisture
from their food.
