Their feet, comprised of soft pads with two toenails, impact the environment less than the boots of an average hiker, yet llamas are strong.
Llamas are efficient foragers They have less impact on plant life than the native deer.
A pound or two per day of supplemental feed is all that is needed when in the wilderness. Llamas are also easy to transport. A small, partially enclosed pickup truck with racks will transport two adult llamas. They travel lying down and also travel well in vans, stock trailers, boats and even airplanes. Llamas have discreet bathroom habits Their pelleted droppings, similar to a deer, are virtually odourless and are generally deposited in the communal dung pile.
