Llamas (Lama glama) are from the Andes Mountains of South America. They weigh up to 280 pounds and may reach 6 feet tall. Their fiber is free of lanolin and very soft. The Incas used them for pack animals, meat, and a source of fiber for weaving. People of the Andes still use them this way. Llamas is a circle of webrings providing information on Llamas and offering their hair or young for sale.
Because they are highly sociable herd animals, llamas need the companionship of other llamas. Independent yet shy, llamas are gentle and curious. Their generally calm nature and common sense make a trained llama easy for anyone to handle and an excellent choice for a child's pet and companion.
Llamas communicate by humming. They also express themselves through a series of ear, body, and tail postures. On rare occasions they will alert their companions and human keepers with a distinctive alarm call to the presence of unfamiliar dogs or other creatures which they perceive as threats. During breeding males make a distinctive orgling sound.
Do they spit? Llamas will spit at other llamas in order to establish the pecking order within the group, to ward off an unwanted suitor, or to say "Bug off!". A llama who has been mishandled, feels abused, or threatened may occasionally spit at humans.
