The llama is a large mammal from the camel family. People domesticated llamas in the mountains of South America for transporting goods, obtaining wool, and meat.
The llama differs from wild guanacos with its calm temperament and thick wool. It helps people in the hard-to-reach mountains of the Andes. Llamas are important for nature because they spread plant seeds and serve as food for predators.
