Description
Llamas (Lama glama) are one of South America's 2 domestic camelids (the alpaca is the other) and closely related to camels. They are common throughout the Andes and bred for their meat and wool; in the past they were an important means of transport in rural areas. Their facial expressions are invariably cute, often comical! The colourful wooly ear tags (called t'ikas) are to identify which family or community the animals belong to.
