Llama
Lama, (Lama galama),
South American member of the camel family, Camelidae (order
Artiodactyla), closely related to the alpaca, guanaco, and vicuña, which
are known collectively as lamoids.
Unlike camels, lamoids do not have the characteristic camel humps; they
are slender-bodied animals and have long legs and necks, short tails,
small heads, and large, pointed ears. Gregarious animals, they graze on
grass and other plants. When annoyed, they spit. Lamoids are able to
interbreed and to produce fertile offspring
