Sheep field we used to cut through to fish got guard lamas because of coyote. They ain't too friendly if they don't know you. They are big and scary... and smart as some people I know. They will actually lure you into a trap and try to kick the shit out of you. They even work nights. We walk around that pasture now.

I always thought llamas were wild animals that originally came from the deserts and forests of Asia and Africa. Turns out I was wrong. I must have thought that because I found out Bactrian and Dromedary camels live in Asia and Africa and I also thought that the camels were the animals that llamas descended from. I must have thought that because many llamas have thin hair that sheds and have long ears to help radiate heat.
@@AnimalFactFiles OMG, I never imagined you would respond me, thank you for doing that!! 😊. Haha yes, thats something I have wondered too, why the pronunciation for llama is so different between english and spanish? The only theory I can imagine right now is that at some point of the past, before llamas were known in the rest of the world, some english speaking tourists got fascinated for these strange animals and logically wanted to know its name. However at the time it was way more difficult for people to speak more than one language, specially in peru, so the locals had to write the name of the animal "llama", ignoring that the rules for english are way different from those of spanish, being the "ll" pronunced like "l" and not "y", being this misconception carried since then.....although this is just a theory, we may never know xD.
That honestly makes sense! I've never looked into how the name came over here, but I do know American English speakers butcher a lot of words from their native pronunciation. Even "Peru" we say incorrectly - more like "per-roo" instead of "pay-roo" (but even the "roo" sound is different). It's the same with other languages. I'm studying Japanese and recognize we say "karaoke" incorrectly, but most people would think you're being a snob if you say it as it is pronounced in Japanese. Language, and the way people perceive it, is fascinating. Thanks so much for commenting!
Hey there! Thanks for watching. We would love it if you could provide time stamps for the places where you're seeing alpacas and not llamas so we can make note of it. Thanks for your help!
@@AnimalFactFiles Here are the time stamps where I "Think" these may be Alpacas 1:36 This next one might be another camel relative, not even alpacas? 3:26
At 1:36 to me it looks like a herd of mixed alpacas and llamas - the black and white in the center frame has those banana shaped ears just like a llama while the black one in front has pointed alpaca ears At 3:26 I agree, I *think* we used guanacos because we couldn't find any video of llama babies and this was the next best choice - appreciate you pointing that out!
Esos animales se encuentran en abundancia en forma natural hasta el extremo sur de Chile. No son llamas. Su nombre es Guanaco y no son amistosos. Que no los engañe esas miradas bonitas y las pestañas largas y su actitud aparentemente tranquila. Te pueden atacar con un escupitajo a los ojos en el momento más inesperado. Los carros lanza agua de la policia en Chile les dicen popularmente Guanacos. Las llamas son más pequeñas, dóciles, muy bonitas y de pelo muy suave. Las han matado para hacer artesanías con su piel, como alfombras. Las alpacas son otra variedad de camelido de piel muy fina que se usa sola o mezclada con lana para tejidos, excelente calidad. También existe la Vicuña del altiplano cuya caza se prohibió porque casi se extinguió, a causa de su pelaje finísimo, de alta calidad para telas o tejidos muy costosos. 🙋🏻♀️💖🇨🇱
Llamas are camels, a camel is any hoofed mammal belonging to the family Camelidae, just like wolves, jackals, and foxes are dogs because a dog is any carnivoran belonging to the family Canidae, lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs, pumas, and lynxes are cats because a cat is any carnivoran belonging to the family Felidae, binturongs are civets because a civet is any carnivoran belonging to the family Viverridae, meerkats are mongooses because a mongoose is any carnivoran belonging to the family Herpestidae, moose and elk are deer because a deer is any hoofed mammal belonging to the family Cervidae, warthogs, babirusas, and wild boars are pigs because a pig is any hoofed mammal belonging to the family Suidae, and dolphins and porpoises are whales because a whale is any mammal belonging to the order Cetacea.
Llamas are not a camel. They’re a cousin of the camel. How many llamas do you see in the desert snacking on cacti? Zero. That’s because llamas are not camels and can’t live off of cactus.
@Mia the llama lover, actually, llamas are camels, a camel is any hoofed mammal that belongs to the family Camelidae, therefore alpacas, vicuna, and guanacos are also camels, the biggest required features that make a camel a camel is the long necks, padded feet, and small hooves on each toe, so technically, camels do have hooves, "hoofed mammal" is another term for ungulate, also, not all camels live in deserts, only the dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) does, while the bactrian camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus), guanaco (Lama guanicoe), llama (Lama glama), vicuna (Vicugna vicugna), and alpaca (Vicugna pacos) are all more used to colder, more temperate, grassier, snowier, more mountainous, or rockier habitats, the vicuna is the smallest living camel, while the bactrian camel is the largest living camel, bactrian camels do not really eat cacti, bactrian camels usually eat grass, leaves, and flowers, this is because bactrian camels are native to the Himalayas, making the bactrian camel one of the many living megafauna of the Himalayas.
@Mia the llama lover, a camel is any hoofed mammal that belongs to the family Camelidae, camels are native to Asia, Africa, and South America, all camels have long necks, padded feet, and small hooves on each toe, there are six extant camel species under four genera, two tribes, and a single extant subfamily, camels range in size from the vicuna to the bactrian camel, contrary to popular belief, not all camels live in deserts, only the dromedary does, while the other five living camel species being the bactrian camel, guanaco, llama, vicuna, and alpaca are more native to colder, more temperate, or grassier habitats Taxonomy: • Family: Camelidae (Camels) •• Subfamily: Camelinae (Modern Camels) ••• Tribe: Lamini (Modern Humpless Camels) •••• Genus: Vicugna (Vicuna and Alpaca) ••••• Species: Vicugna vicugna (Vicuna) ••••• Species: Vicugna pacos (Alpaca) •••• Genus: Lama (Guanaco and Llama) ••••• Species: Lama guanicoe (Guanaco) ••••• Species: Lama glama (Llama) ••• Tribe: Camelini (Humped Camels) •••• Genus: Camelus (Modern One-Humped Camels) ••••• Species: Camelus dromedarius (Dromedary) •••• Genus: Oreocamelus (Two-Humped Camels) ••••• Species: Oreocamelus bactrianus (Bactrian Camel)
