Llamas have long been used as animal carriers for people in the Andes mountains, South America. They have a long history on American soil, even during the ice age. Although often difficult to distinguish from alpacas, llamas also have their own charm.
One way to tell llamas from alpacas is by looking at their size. Generally, llamas are taller and larger than alpacas. Reported by the Sea World page, llamas can weigh between 135-202.5 kilograms. The average adult llama can grow to a height of 150-180 centimeters. The Britannica page says that llamas have a high tolerance for thirst. They can last longer than most animals with just a little water. They can also eat anything they can find around them. This makes them effective carriers in the fairly arid plains and mountains of the Andes.

Llama vs Alpaca
There are two types of adorable animals that are often difficult to distinguish. They are Alpaca and Llama. Having similarities in face and body posture, many people are often mistaken when referring to Alpacas with Llamas and vice versa. Native to mainland South America. Llamas are generally found in the Andes Mountains, while Alpacas are found almost throughout South America.
The first difference between Alpaca and Llama is in terms of size. Alpacas have a smaller body size with an average weight of 120 to 150 pounds (54 to 68 kg). Llamas, on the other hand, are larger and weigh an average of 400 pounds (180 pounds).
Judging from the shape of the face, Alpaca and Llama look different even though they are both cute and angrier. Alpaca with a flatter face and overgrown hair. In contrast, the Llama has a facial contour that tends to be sharp and only a little hair grows on his face. The next difference is the shape of the ears. Alpacas have straight ears and tend to be pointed. Unlike the Llama, which has an ear shape resembling a long banana.

Llama and Its Functions
Llamas are members of the camel family native to South America. Even so, the animal which has the official name Lama glama does not have the characteristics of a camel’s hump. Those are slimmer with long legs and neck, short tail, small head, and large pointed ears.
Llamas are not solitary, in other words they like to group together to find grass and other plants as their main meal. Llamas, which can spit when irritated, are able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Most llamas are kept by Bolivian, Peruvian, Ecuadorian, Chilean and Argentinean Indians. Indigenous people have used llamas as transport animals for centuries.
Llamas are primarily carrier animals but are also used as a food source, producing wool, leather, fat for wax, and dry manure as fuel. This animal has a maximum weight of 113 kilograms and can carry a load of 45-60 kilograms. In addition, this livestock species is able to cover a distance of 25 to 30 km in a day’s journey.
