Llamas / Rough to the Touch / Lorie Davison


This is my 6th page of an album I am making documenting all of our trips to the wild safari at Six Flags Great Adventure this summer.

Llamas can be found commercially throughout mountainous areas of North America, Europe and Australia. They are pack animals that are maintained in herds by natives of South America. The long woolen coat of llamas is commonly used to make clothing and blankets. Their diet consists of native shrubs and grasses of mountain vegetation. Llamas live in dry climates and get most of their moisture from their food.

Life span approximately 28 yearsWeight up to 450 poundsLlamas have three stomachs and are ruminantsLlamas can carry in excess of 133 lbs over 19 miles per day

[RUMINANT: An animal that chews the cud and has a complex digestive system with a four part stomach enabling bacteria to break down food. Ruminants lack upper incisor teeth and their complex stomach allows them to store and digest large amounts of bulky and fibrous food.]
