Llama

Llama, long-eared South American ruminant that is domesticated from the guanaco (Lama guanicoe). The llama (Lama glama) is usually white, blotched with black and brown. Male llamas have been used as beasts of burden in the Andes Mountains of Peru and Bolivia for more than 4000 years. Females, which give birth to one or rarely two offspring every two years, are raised for their flesh and for their milk. The wool of both sexes is used in the weaving of textiles and rope.
Scientific classification: The llama belongs to the family Camelidae.

Llamas are reported to be inquisitive, friendly animals.  A llama greeting is marked by softly blowing on each other.  According to animal experts, a soft blow to a person is the llama's way of saying hello.
