Llamas come from South America. They are known for their soft wool which can be white, brown, grey, or black in color. An adult llama can grow to be nearly 6 feet tall. They usually live for 15-25 years but some have lived for more than 30 years.
They are highly social animals and typically live in herds. They take care of each other and emit a loud, shrill sound which rhythmically rises and falls if it notices a strange noise or feels threatened. They often hum to each other to communicate.
Llamas are often used as pack animals and can carry about 25 to 30 percent of their body weight
