The Story Of... Llamas

In ancient America, the only domestic big mammal of camels and alpacas was the camel 's evolutionary cousin - they lacked a camel' s signature bumps. Like a camel, a camel is a clever and weedy herbivorous animal, but as they become worse, suffer an excessive burden, or have other problems, you tend to snore sneeze, nausea, kick, and move

The average height of the shoulder of a camel which the Native American bred over 5000 years ago is about 4 feet. They are mainly used for wool, but they are also used for meat, fertilizer and leather.

Camels are placed in meadows and will not be brought indoors; they are not milked for human consumption. This means that there are few diseases that jump from camels to humans, but Europeans inherit many diseases from close to their livestock.

Camel's high resistance to thirst and appetite for various plants are key to Andean's native American transport and communication. Llama can move an average of 15 to 20 miles per day, but camels lack the power of cattle, camels and horses, so they can not carry adults or draw any type of machine. Even if the Inca found the wheel, the camel could not draw a larger cart than the wheelbarrow.

When Spain conquered the Americas, a number of llamas were used to transport silver ore from the Inca mine network. Spain observers speculated that as many as 300,000 llamas were used to export products from specific mines (Potosi, Hyundai Bolivia)

However, the geographic location guarantees that mammals with the only weight on the continent are still isolated. Only the indigenous people of the Andes knows. The desolate desolation jungle of Panama Strait and South America ensures that there are no camels - Inca - to the Aztecs or beyond

In the Inca Empire, camels are the only burdensome beasts, and many of the people who control the Incas have a long camel grazing tradition. For the nobility of the Inca, Lama is symbolic, and the appearance of Rama is often buried with the dead. In South America, llamas are still used as heavy beasts, and the production of fibers and meat. Carterol considers that a number of camels found in the highlands of southern Peru are an important element in the rise of the Inca empire. It is worth considering that the maximum extent of the Inca Empire is roughly consistent with the largest distribution of Alpaca and Lama among the original Hispanic Americans. The relationship between Andean Biome, Lama's livestock industry and California's Republic of Puna and Paramo is a research topic.

Alpaca is often confused with camels. It is closely related, but Rama and Alpaca are different animals. First of all, llama is much bigger than alpaca, about 100 to 200 pounds of alpaca, about twice as heavy as alpaca, average weight is about 250 to 450 pounds. Camels are mainly used for packing or protecting flocks and alpacas, and alpacas are mainly used for soft and luxurious wool. All members of the camel family use exhalation as a means of negative communication. As they possess the ownership of the food they may suffer from other alpaca spitting that they believe they are violating their "food". In addition, they often vomit each other during a fight among herds (usually involving two or more men)

There is rare camel to vomit after correct feeding. However, the camel is a very sociable flock and spits each other as a way to train a low level of camels among herds. The social status of the camels in the herd was never static. By choosing a small battle they can move up and down at any time in a social ladder. This is usually done between men to decide which men will dominate. Their battle is mainly visually dramatic, nauseated, colliding with the chest, wrestling in the neck, kicking out, in order to break the balance of the opponent. Women are usually just as a means of managing other nomads.
