Llamas vary in colors from all white to all black. Llamas thrive in altitudes above 8,000 feet. They have padded feet which allow them a sure-footed walk on slippery rock surfaces or sandy areas. Llamas in captivity can be very aggressive and sometimes spit, kick, and bite. Llamas have a lifespan of 20 - 30 years.
Llamas are cousins to the camel .
