Llamas are great pack animals – They can carry up to 25-30% of their body weight, making them perfect for backcountry adventures.

They hum to communicate – Llamas make a soft humming sound to express emotions like curiosity, contentment, or concern.

Llamas are incredibly clean – Unlike many livestock animals, llamas prefer to use a communal "bathroom spot" in their pasture, which makes cleanup easy.

They’re gentle and intelligent – Llamas are quick learners and can be trained to follow commands, carry packs, and navigate trails with ease.

Not all llamas spit – While they can spit to establish dominance or express irritation, well-trained and socialized llamas rarely spit at people.

Llamas have soft, luxurious wool – Their wool is hypoallergenic, warm, and lanolin-free, making it perfect for sensitive skin.

They’re great guard animals – Llamas are naturally alert and will protect livestock like sheep or goats from predators such as coyotes.

Llamas have been domesticated for thousands of years – They were first domesticated by the Andean people in South America over 4,000 years ago.

They have unique, banana-shaped ears – Unlike their close relatives, alpacas, llamas have long, curved ears that give them an expressive look.

Llamas can go days without water – Like camels, llamas are highly efficient at conserving water, making them well-suited for arid and mountainous environments.
