How much space do llamas need?
you should have multiple llamas as they are a herd animal. 3-4 per acre is good for them, but if you give them more space you won't catch them complaining.
sex
-------------
Like all mammals, llamas reproduce by sexual reproduction. The female gestates and eventually gives birth to the baby, which it raises until it is big enough to fend for itself.
Incas herded llamas and what else?
Since the altitude was to high for seep, lambs, cows, etc. The Inca herded alpacas. sadly I do forget if they had horses/donkeys. Hope this was helpful
Are llamas and alpacas related?
There are six camelids - Old World camelids are the dromedary (one-humped camel) and the Bactrian (two-humped camel). New World camelids are the llama, alpaca, guanaco, and vicuna. So yes, they are related.
What is the difference between nombre and llama?
"Nombre" means "name". "LLama" is part of the verb "to call". "Como se llama?" translates directly as "how is one called?" and that is the common way to ask someone's name.
What is the average size of a llama?
A full-grown llama can be 5.5 to 6.0 feet tall. The weight of a llama can be anywhere between 280 and450 pounds.
Are llamas friendly to humans?
I personally have not owned and alpaca (YET) but I am doing my research, and I have found that YES! They do get along with dogs, llamas, and other livestalk. The only harm is with cows, that they will be kicked during feeding time, but that is not likely. I hope this helps!
Spitting up is the gentle sloshing of stomach contents up and out of the mouth in babies, sometimes accompanied by a burp. It is different than vomiting.
InformationMost babies spit up milk out of their mouths or noses. This is because the sphincter at the top of the stomach is often loose. In otherwise healthy, happy babies who are growing well, the spit-up is mostly milk, rather than stomach acid, and nothing needs to be done.
Babies gaining at least 6 ounces a week and with wet diapers at least every 6 hours are usually growing well. On average, spitting up peaks at 4 months and is over by about 7 months of age, though it can take longer.
Spitting up may be caused by a number of different things. The muscle at the top of the stomach may be too loose (so it can't hold things in), the valve at the bottom of the stomach may be too tight (so the stomach gets too full), or big air bubbles may take up too much room. Sometimes babies just drink too much, too fast. Spitting up is not likely to be due to a formula intolerance or allergy to something in a nursing mother's diet.
To reduce spitting up, burp your baby several times during and after feeding. Sit the baby upright, with your hand supporting the head. Let the baby lean over slightly, bending at the waist. The upright posture moves air to the top of the stomach, and the forward lean puts a little pressure on the stomach to eject the air, helping the baby to burp. Avoid pressure on the abdomen, which occurs when holding your baby over your shoulder -- this just causes more expulsion of stomach contents.
Here are other ways to reduce spitting up:
- For breastfed babies, try limiting nursing to just one breast per feeding.
- For bottlefed babies, avoid feeding large amounts. Instead, feed smaller amounts more frequently. Be sure the nipple doesn't have too large a hole.
- Try holding the baby upright for 15 - 30 minutes after feedings.
- Avoid excessive movement and jiggling during and immediately after feeding.
- When it's time to lay your baby down, try keeping the head of his bed slightly elevated.
- Sometimes, switching formulas or removing a food from the mother's diet (usually cow's milk) can help, but you should ask your doctor before doing this.
If "projectile" spit-up shoots across the room, it's important to see a doctor to rule out a condition called pyloric stenosis. Here, the too-tight valve at the bottom of the stomach needs to be treated.

Depends what animal, their human season starts in mid April and ends at the end of June. Boy llamas have to be 5 years old to hunt with a license while lady llamas only have to be two with a hunting license. On the other hand there is no restrictions when they can hunt cats and dogs so that goes on all year as long as they are also licensed.

The height of a full-grown, full-size llama is between 5.5 feet (1.6 meters) to 6 feet (1.8 m) tall at the top of the head. They can weigh between approximately 280 pounds (127 kilograms) and 450 pounds (204 kilograms). At birth, a baby llama (called a cria) can weigh between 20 pounds (9 kilograms) to 30 pounds (14 kilograms).

Llamas are very social animals and live and travel in packs in the wild. If you are talking about buying a single llama, it could technically live by itself but I believe it would be harmful to the llama. It would suffer mentally, be unhealthy, and probably be very difficult to handle and raise. At the very least I would recommend having alpacas, sheep, or other herding animals for the llama to "adopt".
there are called Cria, a hispanic word.
A baby lama is called a cria.
