Llamas are domesticated South American animals known for their long necks and soft, woolly coats. They belong to the camelid family, which also includes alpacas, guanacos, and vicunas. Llamas are primarily used as pack animals and for their wool, which is warm and lightweight. They are social creatures that live in herds and communicate through a variety of sounds. These animals are well-adapted to high-altitude environments, often found in the Andes Mountains. Llamas can weigh between 250 to 450 pounds and stand about 5.5 to 6 feet tall at the head. They are herbivores, primarily grazing on grass and other vegetation, and are known for their gentle and curious nature.
