There were no domesticated animals in North America prior to European contact largely due to the continent's ecological conditions and the absence of suitable species for domestication. Unlike regions like Eurasia, which had a variety of large mammals that could be domesticated, North America lacked animals that met the criteria for domestication, such as social structure, diet, and temperament. Additionally, indigenous peoples had developed successful hunting and gathering strategies that diminished the need for domestication. The combination of these factors contributed to the absence of domesticated animals in pre-Columbian North America.

Native cultures in North and South America developed without draft animals or cattle primarily due to the absence of suitable domesticated species in their environments. While some animals, like llamas and alpacas in the Andes, were domesticated, many large mammals were either not amenable to domestication or became extinct before human arrival. Additionally, cultural practices and geography influenced their reliance on hunting, gathering, and agriculture that didn't necessitate draft animals. This led to diverse ways of life that adapted to their unique surroundings without the use of cattle or other draft animals.
