Llama
The llama is a South American relative of the camel, though the llama
does not have a hump. These sturdy creatures are domestic animals used
by the peoples of the Andes Mountains. (Their wild relatives are Guantanamo and vicunas). Native peoples have used llamas as pack animals
for centuries. Typically, they are saddled with loads of 50 to 75 pounds
(23 to 34 kilograms). Under such weight they can cover up to 20 miles
(32 kilometers) in a single day. Pack trains of llamas, which can
include several hundred animals, move large amounts of goods over even
the very rough terrain of the Andes.
