Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which continent is home to the llama?

Answer: South America

The llama belongs to the camelid classification for animals. It can be found for the most part in the regions of the Andes mountains and is used by the people there both for its meat, its fibre, and its capability as a pack animal. Millions of years ago the animal migrated south from the North American continent.
2. How can you tell when a llama is agitated?

Answer: It lays its ears back and spits

Regarding that spit, you can actually tell the degree of agitation in the llama by how rich the spit is - the more agitated the richer the spit.
3. What product does the fleece of llamas lack, which is found in the fleece of sheep?

Answer: Lanolin

Lanolin is quite valuable and is utilised in the manufacture of cosmetics and other products. Llama fleece, however, which is noted for its beautifully soft qualities, lacks this product. The under part of their fleece is used in the manufacture of hand crafts and various garments.

The top layer, which is somewhat coarser, is used to make rugs, rope or tapestry for wall tapestries. The fleece also comes in various colours - red, light and dark brown, grey and black.
4. The alpaca, a close relative of the llama, can produce fifty-two different coloured fleeces with cross-breeding.

Answer: True

Alpacas look like small llamas but they not used as pack animals. They are bred for their fibre alone. Similar to wool, their fleece it is used to make blankets, ponchos, coats, sweaters and related items such as these. The fibre comes in an amazing array of fifty-two colours.
5. The female llama: What is unusual about her estrus cycle?

Answer: She doesn't have one

The lady llama doesn't go on heat, and only releases an egg to be fertilised when mating occurs. She reaches puberty at twelve months of age but the male doesn't reach puberty until he's at least three years old. When the two mate, it is carried out in a lying down position.

This is known as a kush. Mating can take up to forty-five minutes, and during the whole of this time, the males make a sound called an orgle - a loud, buzzing, rasping discordant noise.
6. When baby llamas are born, the mothers do not lick the babies clean. Why is this?

Answer: Their tongues are too short

The dam's tongue only protrudes half an inch, at the most, from her mouth. When it is born, a baby llama weighs between 9-14 kilograms. When fully grown however, it can weigh between 130-200 kilograms (280-400 lbs).
7. Instead of licking her baby clean when it is born, what does the mother llama do?

Answer: Nuzzles it and hums to it

She actually hums to it. The gestation period before the baby is born is almost a year - 350 days in fact. Birth is usually quick and usually only takes up to half an hour, and the baby is delivered with the dam in a standing position.
8. What do the other female llamas do when a dam is giving birth?

Answer: Gather around the mother and baby

They do this to protect the baby from the father and from any other predators. Within an hour of its birth, the little one is standing up and tottering round and attempting its first feed from mum. The mothers only produce a small amount of milk each time, so the babies have to suckle frequently.

Her milk is lower in fat and salt, but higher in phosphorus and calcium than that of a cow's milk.
9. How can you tell when a female llama is pregnant?

Answer: She spits at the male and attacks him

There is a purpose to this behaviour, however. It keeps the sperm count high for the male and keeps the reproductive tract safe for the female.
10. Why is it best to keep contact with a baby llama as limited as possible?

Answer: When grown, they treat humans like llamas and fight with them

A baby llama too exposed to humans will treat humans as it does other llamas when it is grown. This includes spitting on them, kicking them and trying to neck wrestle them.
