Llamas have soft, thick fur that can be white, brown, or black. They have long eyelashes, big eyes, and banana-shaped ears. A baby llama is called a cria. Llamas can be up to six feet tall!
Llamas eat grass and hay. They are related to camels and can go a long time without drinking water. Llamas chew their food by moving their jaws from side to side.
- Llamas hum softly to talk to each other.
- They are great guard animals and help protect sheep and goats from danger!
- If a llama is annoyed, it might spit, but they usually only spit at other llamas, not at people.
