LLAMAS
The wild forms of the llamas are the guanacos from South America.
Like their ancestors, they are prey animals that live in groups with social structures. Several animals, at least one pair - geldings or mares - get along well together and can also be kept together if the males have been castrated in time. Llamas and alpacas should not be kept together with other animal species, as problems can arise due to different behaviour and parasite contamination.
