llamas

South American haulers

Llamas are large domesticated South American mammals related to camels but without humps.

They serve as pack animals in the Andes and are raised elsewhere for their soft wool.

Llamas are known for spitting when annoyed.

The farm down the road keeps llamas and alpacas.
