Wooly Llama

Wooly-Llama

Description:

Compared to other llamas, Wooly Llamas are more compact. They look much prettier because of the fleece covering their torso. Strong wool covers the single-layered body of wooly llamas. There is no undercoat on them like on Traditional Llamas. The head, ear, and neck are covered in additional wool, which is dense and kinky. The fiber quality is similar to that of regular alpaca, with a minimal amount of less dense guard hair.

Behavior:

Llamas hum to communicate with their owners and are intelligent, obedient, and simple to train.

Spitting on the owner and other llamas is one way that llamas express their rage and let you know that they are agitated.

Llamas typically have a natural propensity to endure chilly temperatures. Wooly llamas have the ability to endure both cold and heat. But, when it becomes too hot or too cold, the appropriate safety measures must be followed.

Benefits/Uses: 

This well-known variety of llama is recognized for its wool and has cute looks that will make you want to raise one right away.

Origin/History:

The big, woolly llama originated in Latin America, where the locals domesticated it for use as a pack animal. Because motorized vehicles couldn’t go across some of the difficult Andean terrain, the Quechua Indians initially domesticated llamas about 6000 years ago to transport up to 30% of their weight over great distances. Llamas can grow to over five feet in height.
