Camels and llamas had a common ancestor species in North America millions of years ago. Some of them migrated north across the land bridge into Asia and then Africa, evolving into camels. Others migrated south into South America and evolved into llamas, alpacas, and vicunas.
Llama
Me!
Yes. So are camels. :)
Guanaco, the vicuna, and the alpaca are their closest relatives.
The llama is the American cousin of the camel. Llamas live in both North and South America and are helpful to man like a camel.
Llamas are mostly closely related to alpacas, vicunas, and guanacos.
The llama is found in South America and "related" to camels.
Llama
According to Walker's "Mammals of the World" there are only two species of camel, the Bactrian (two humped) of the Gobi Desert, and the Dromedarian (one humped ) of North Africa. They do have some similar relatives, Vicuna, Llama, Alpaca but they are not technically camels.
Camel or llama
Camels (Dromedary and Bactran), alpacas, guanacos and vicuñas. All are a part of the Camelid family. The first are the Old World camelids and the last three, including the llama itself, are New World camelids.
Guanaco is a relative of llama. They are humpless camels found in South America and in Tierra del Fuego forest. Guanacos do seasonal migration.
