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 use a variety or combination of methods to protect the sheep or goats. They may immediately run or walk after a coyote or dog with the intention to either stomp or hit the predator with their legs and chest. They may place themselves between the coyote or dog and the sheep or goats.
