Weights range from 250 to 450 pounds. Llamas come in a variety of colors. They can be various shades of brown, black, peach, white, grey, roan, paints, spotted and many other patterns. Llamas and alpacas have colorful light greaseless wool, which can be used for all types of projects. Shearing or brushing collects it.
Camelid wool is different than sheep wool in a number of ways.
Camels and camelids have two toed feet, with a toenail sticking out of the end of each toe. However, they walk on a kind of leathery pad, which gives them excellent traction. The llama and the alpaca are both domesticated animals, and have never been wild. The llama is larger than the alpaca. In the United States, llamas are used for light draft, fiber production, show, and companion and guard animals.
