Llamas live wild in South America, mainly in Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia. However, they have been domesticated and there are farms all over the United States and Canada that raise llamas. Llamas are very smart animals with a mental capacity exceeding that of a dog.
Llamas are grazers, consuming low shrubs and other kinds of plants. They are native to the Andes and adapted to eat lichens and hardy mountainous vegetation. When raised on farms or kept as pets, llamas eat a diet similar to that of sheep and goats.
