Llamas have five distinctive natural gaits.
They are the walk, pace, trot, gallop and pronk. The walk is a four-beat gait in which three feet are always on the ground. The llama's weight is distributed over the three feet which are in contact with the ground. Each foot is individually placed on the ground at a different time from any others. Walking involves bringing one front limb forward followed by the hind leg on the opposite side, the other front limb and finally the remaining hind leg.
