Number 8 – Llama
Llamas are domesticated pack animals that have long been employed by Andean communities in the South American highlands. They are dependable, affectionate, and peaceful. Additionally, throughout the past 40 years, farmers, breeders, and enthusiasts of exotic pets all over the world have imported them.
The shape and colors of Llamas greatly vary. An average Llama grows about 5.5 ft to 6 ft and weighs around 145-195 kgs. Depending on the breed, llamas can be brown, white, black, grey, piebald, or spotted. Their silky, lanolin-free fur is coveted for use in clothing, knitting, and other crafts. The coarser exterior hair of llamas is utilized for wall paintings, carpets, and ropes.
Scientists classify llamas as “charismatic megafaunas,” making them one of the few animals that people may safely cuddle because of their gentleness and empathy.
