have a past and to go through things in order to have a future. This paragraph is about llamas and where they came from. Llamas are a member of the camelid family. The relatives are the Camel, the Alpaca, the Guanaco, and the Vicuna (Clark, Donna.) The Guanaco is predicted to be the progenitor of the llamas. They originate from the central high Andean Mountains of South America. But it is said that llamas and their family lived in the North American plains 40 million years age, then they spread
Alpacas and Llamas What makes a good livestock animal? Many things are to be considered when choosing a livestock animal. Every animal is raised for different reasons. Llamas and Alpacas are some examples of livestock animals. While llamas and alpacas seem similar, they have many differences. Llamas are slightly bigger than alpacas and have many physical differences. Other than physical differences, llamas and alpacas have different purposes. Both animals are good livestock animals to raise, but
One of the most obvious differences between the two species is their wool or (more accurately) their fiber. Both the llama and the alpaca have been raised for their fiber, which is shorn once a year in both cases. The alpaca is much more prized for their fiber, and for many farmers, that’s the only reason they are raised. There are two types of alpacas, each defined by their fiber; both types are soft and hypoallergenic. The Huacaya has a sheep-like appearance, with short, soft fiber. The Suri has

The Change It was a bright and sunny day on June 3, 1995. Such a good day that I was in the mood to become something different, something that no one would expect to become, but what I had in mind wasn’t what I was hoping for. It was nice out and Brandon and I had some unfinished business we needed to take care of. We got mad at each other earlier that day, got into a big fight and ended up messing up moms’ big day. On top of that, he blamed the whole thing on me which I can never forgive him for
In a small apartment building in New York City, Paul the llama had just awoken when he heard a loud banging at the front door. Paul opened the door and saw the small angry face of his landlord, Bob the french bulldog. Bob began to yell,“ Paul, if you don't pay your bills I will kick you out!” With that, Bob slammed the door on Paul and left. Paul had to think of a way to pay his bills, then it came to him, “ I need a roommate!”, Paul exclaimed. Paul spent the rest of the day making the perfect
Llama Lamarck’s theory is the theory of inheritance acquired characteristics. His theory explains that an animal adapts and evolves to their environment then this was passed down to their offspring (Quinton, Cash, Tilley, Craven, 2012) Darwin’s theory states that animals grow up and develop through the process of natural selection and inherit variations that increases their chances for survival of the fittest they then pass this onto future generations. When Darwin was on the Chatham island Darwin
Alpacas Alpacas instinctive behaviors consist of five things, the first one is their social structure. Alpacas will sometimes spit at each other for when they need personal space. This is something that is done naturally so if you get near an alpaca that is not comfortable with people you could potentially get spit on. So when working with alpacas be careful and pay attention to not get to close to an alpaca that isn’t comfortable with you around. The next behavior is reproduction, when alpacas
Estaban’s “Llama Eternal” Most times one would never realize how much a single person could have such an impact on another, but imagine a dead man changing the way of life for a whole village! Strong feelings are cultivated after myth is built around establishment ceding the hold of culture. Fantasies are created that lingers the need to let go of such a reverie.
