- 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.
