Llamas

Llamas are all over the world, and we would like to tell you about where they live and how people use them. http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/other/llama/llama1.jpg

The Incans did not have wheeled vehicles or work animals, aside from the llama. The llama, a distant cousin of the camel, can go without food or water for days and carry loads up to 80 pounds. The Incans used the llama to carry supplies up and down winding mountain paths. They made clothing from its wool, ate its meat, and burned its dung as fuel. However, wool from the domesticated alpaca and the wild vicuna was more highly valued than that of the llama. Many objects, such as this silver llama was lift with the dead at burial pits. The llama may have stood for the herd that the Incans hoped would multiply and llama are still the pack animals of the Andes.
