“Llamas are so smart that they can learn to understand and perform basic tasks. Scientists even taught llamas how to use a mirror!”

“Llamas are vegetarians and scientists believe that about 8 million llamas now roam the Earth, the majority of which are in South America”

“Like dogs, llamas are used as therapy animals and often take up jobs in
care homes and hospitals. Affectionate and friendly, they are ideally suited to comfort people with their soothing aura.”

“Llamas and alpacas look very similar, but llamas have long ears and faces while alpaca ears and faces are both short. Alpacas are also smaller than llamas. ”

“Llamas wear their feelings on their ears! Pinned back ears indicate that they are feeling agitated or threatened, but perked up ears mean they’re happy or curious!”

“Personality wise, llamas are more like dogs — social and friendly — while alpacas are more like cats — reserved and independent.”
