Are llamas dangerous to humans?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

no Llamas originated from the central plains of North America about 40 million years ago. They migrated to South America and Asia about 3 million years ago. By the end of the last ice age (10,000-12,000 years ago) camelids were extinct in North America. As of 2007, there were over 7 million llamas and alpacas in South America and, due to importation from South America in the late 20th century, there are now over 100,000 llamas and 6,500-7,000 alpacas in the US and Canada

How many offspring does a llama have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Both llamas and alpacas only have one baby, also called a cria. They are like horses in which that 99.9% of the time they only have one baby, but in rare cases, like horses, they may have twins, but often one or both of the twins dies and possibly the mother. But I have seen here on the internet one set of twins where the mother and the babies all lived and the babies are growing up just fine.

Does jagurs eat llamas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

like all cats the jaguar is an obligate carnivore, feeding only on meat. It is an opportunistic hunter and its diet encompasses 87 species. The jaguar prefers large prey and will take adult caiman (a form of small alligator), deer, capybara, tapirs, peccaries, dogs, foxes, and sometimes even anacondas. However, the cat will eat any small species that can be caught, including frogs, mice, birds, fish, sloths, monkeys, and turtles; a study conducted in Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Belize, for example, revealed that jaguars there had a diet that consisted primarily of armadillos and pacas. Some jaguars will also take domestic livestock, including adult cattle and horses.

Unless you're talking about humans, who might eat them, then they dont have any predators. If they die, then an eagle might come down and eat its remains, but since the llamas live in mountains, they probably dont have any major predators.
