- Incas
domesticated the llama before white men arrived. They
used the llama mainly as a beast of burden, but also
to furnish a food supply and clothing.
- Llamas
used to carry supplies from ore mines before there
were machines. They can carry 100 – 200 pounds over
treacherous ground and high altitudes, where a horse
cannot.
- When
angered, they make a low growling sound and spit!
Today, hikers use llamas to carry supplies.
