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.
The llama is a mammal that belongs to the camel family. Unlike camels, llamas do not have humps. But like most camels, llamas are domesticated, or tamed to help people. Other close relatives of the llama are the alpaca, the guanaco, and the vicuna.
