llama

The llama is a mammal of the order Camelidae. It lives in the Andes mountains of South America in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and northwestern Argentina. And some zoos in the world, such as the zoo in Giza - Egypt

The llama does not have a hump, and its height at the shoulders is about 1.2 m. As for his long thick hair, it is either brown, yellow, orange, gray, white, or black. A female llama gives birth to one baby at a time

The length of the llama is from 109 to 119 cm to the level of the back and from 120 to 225 cm to the top of the head. Their weight ranges from 130 to 155 kg. And it has thick wool that people use in different industries. If someone fights a llama or gets close to it, he will spit the opposite in his face with a mixture of undigested food from his stomach, and the spitting substance has a relatively high acidity because it comes from the stomach. This digestive substance that comes out of the llama's stomach is the same as the substance that the camel excretes when it is thirsty and stores it in its hump, while the llama takes it out of its stomach

For this reason, it is advised not to quarrel with him or get too close to him. The llama is an animal with thick hair and a long neck, similar to a small camel, but it does not have a hump. The llama is the largest member of the South American camel family. The llama, like the alpaca, is the smaller relative of the llama, a domesticated animal, descended from the guanaco. The llama's only other wild relative is the fecuña

Breeding llamas is inexpensive, as they are very hardy animals, living on short shrubs, lichens and other plants that grow in the high mountains. The llama can live for several weeks without water, and is replaced by green plants that provide it with the hydration it needs

The llama has a great benefit, as it can generally carry up to 90 kg, and walk with steady feet in mountain paths, and it can walk more than 30 km per day with a full load. If the llama feels heavy or tired, he lies on the ground and refuses to move. When angry or attacked, he spits foul-smelling saliva in the face of his enemy

The llama is a useful animal for the indigenous people of the Andes Mountains in South America. When the Spanish conquistadors came to this area in the 16th century AD, they used about 300,000 llamas to transport silver from the mines. The indigenous people still use llamas to transport goods, they also eat the meat of their young, and make clothes from their hair, and sandals from their skins
