#FactsFriday: Domesticated about 4000 by the ancient Incans, Llamas (and Alpacas) are the only residents of Machu Picchu at this point. The camel is basically their cousin. Just like the camel, they can survive off of little water and sparse vegetation like you’d find 8000 feet up in Machu Picchu. The llamas at Machu Picchu basically run free.
They are herded and provide wool that’s hypoallergenic and meat for the and current locals. This one is my Potna. I named him Drama. Drama the llama.
