Llama: The Friendly Companion
Llamas (Lama glama), domesticated members of the camel family, are native to South America. Known for their thick woolly coats and gentle demeanor, llamas have been used as pack animals for centuries.
In zoos, llamas are often found in petting areas, where visitors can interact with them. Their curious and social nature makes them a hit with children and adults alike. Beyond their charm, llamas play an important role in educating people about the culture and wildlife of the Andes.
