Llamas
Characteristics
Llamas are cute and soft. They are related to alpacas. Llamas are WAY better than alpacas because they like to spit. Llamas and alpacas are both apart of the Camelids family.
Diet
Llamas are mammals which eat up to 10-12 pounds of grass once they are fully grown. They live up to 10-15 years. An average lifespan of a llama is up to 20 years. Llamas weigh up to 130-200 kgs and their height is 1.7-1.8 meters long. Llama also likes to eat vegetables, fruit, broccoli sweet potatoes, carrots, and apples. Maybe that's why they spit.
Location
The native range of a llama is along the Andes mountain except they are NOT found in the wild. The natural habitat of a llama is the Andean highlands, especially the Altiplano of southeast Peru and western Bolivia.
Predators
The llama's predators are mountain lions, snow leopards, cougars, and most importantly humans. If they are getting attacked the male llamas sound off to warn the rest of the group so they can run away.
Are They Extinct?
No. There is now a law where you have to protect them. Do not hunt them! They are no longer found in the wild though.
