need a correction In a ZOO A guide is telling about the differences of four animals from South America (llama, alpaca, vicuña and guanaco - they are related to camels). I want a llama as a pet, I adore them (they are sociable animals as not me). Llamas & alpacas are domesticated animals. Llamas are the biggest animals. They are gentle & curious & may be trained. Farmers sometimes use llamas to protect their cattle. Alpacas always look happy. Alpacas' wool is softer and warmer than sheep's wool. Vicuñas & guanacos are wild. Vicuñas are elegant. Vicuñas' wool is very expensive. Guanacos are just guanocos, they are larger than vicuñas. They may survive in a desert just licking a cacti.
