FAQs About Llamas
Can Llamas be guard animals?
We do not sell llamas as guard animals or to homes without the company of other llamas. Being herd and prey animals it is always best to have a herd of at least 3 animals, the theory behind this is that whilst two animals are grazing, the other will be on lookout for danger.
What Types of Llamas Are There?
Ccara Llamas which are divided further into Ccara Ccara types which have short coats and tall stature and completely shed their coats and Ccara Curaca – also short fleeced but who do not shed their coats.
Another type is the Woolly or Tampuli Llamas which are heavily fleeced and these are further divided into Tampuli Tapada where the heavy fleece tends to be absent from the face and legs and the Tampuli Lanuda types whose the fleece covers their legs completely and they also have long hair on their head, face and ears.
A final type of llama is the Suri Llama whose fleece hangs down close to the body in tight curls or ringlets, like tassels known as locks, that drape, shimmer and sway as the llama moves. It is a highly lustrous fibre with a very soft, cool handle or feel.
