Andes experts. Llamas have been living and working in the mountains of South America since long before Europeans arrived.

Mountain movers. People use llamas as pack animals to carry supplies across steep, rocky trails where vehicles can't go.

Camel cousins. Llamas are camelids, which means they're related to camels even though they don't have humps.

Tamed by people. Llamas are domesticated, meaning they were raised and cared for by humans rather than living wild.
