In the highlands of Peru, some 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, llamas were domesticated, placing them among the oldest domestic animals in the world. The llama was their beast of burden, the source of clothing and a source of food as well as fuel. Peru is still the second largest producer of llamas in the world, but llamas are worldwide now. They are well-loved pets, therapy pets, farm animals and wool-producers.
Everyone seems to think them very photo worthy and they are popular with children, so much so that they have a starring role in many children's book series.
I have written about llama books before. See here for a list.
