Description

The Great Plains of North America form the ancient origin of llamas. They have long slender necks, large banana-shaped ears, and a cleft upper lip characterize the unique physical appearance of these animals.

Their thick bodies lack a true hump and grow soft wool containing very little natural lanolin grease. Two large, padded toes on each foot help them navigate rugged trails without destroying fragile mountain soil paths.

Herd members live together as highly social creatures and easily learn simple tasks after a few repetitions.

Grasses, clover, and low shrubs make up the diet of these grazing herbivores. Lichens and tough alpine pants provide extra nutrients on high mountain peaks where standard field plants cannot grow.

Females give birth to a baby called a cria after an eleven-month pregnancy. Twins occur very rarely. New mothers nurse their young for about six months until weaning finishes completely.
