Cows, sheep and goats chew sideways (or rather in more of a circular motion) too. It's an adaptation to break down plant matter that they're chewing faster and more efficiently than if the jaw movements were straight up and down like with us humans, a wolf or a tiger.
No.
no
Female alpacas and llamas are called "Hembra" and male alpacas or llamas are called "Macho". Alpacas and llamas look similar in the face but are different in size and fur.
No.
yes llamas can live in captivty as such this is the only way that the species is still alive as it is extinct in the wild

There are some llamas that like to chew on you, but it will not hurt you because they only have teeth on the bottom of their mouth. Males do have sharp fighting teeth in the back of their mouth.
YES! Llamas are classified as ruminants- herbivorous animals that chew their cud. Llamas have a three chambered stomach... when they eat grass, hay or other vegetation they partially digest it and then regurgitate their food (like a cow) Llamas are also known to spit when they are annoyed, so be careful! That wad of regurgitated food has acidic enzymes.. if you get spat in the face, it'll be pretty gross!
Llama have three stomachs so their food must pass through all three. They regurgitate their food and chew their cud like a cow.
Horses chew by moving their lower jaw in an oval pattern because their lower jaw is narrower than the upper jaw. As the jaw closes, it moves from one side to the other. As it opens it returns to the original position.
Camels and llamas (yes, they are related) are world-renowned to spit a lot. Humans that chew tobacco, and humans that use a rotisserie to roast meats 'spit' a lot...
Cud is regurgitated food mostly in cattle that chew it up again and again to break down hay, grain, etc. Animals that chew their cud include cattle, goats, sheep, giraffes, bison, yaks, water buffalo, deer, camels, alpacas, llamas, wildebeest, antelope, pronghorn, and nilgai.
They grind the food between their teeth when they chew. So the lower jaw goes to one side and closes then moves side ways to grind and tear the food.

Llamas.
There are no wild llamas in Australia. Some animal sanctuaries and zoos have llamas.
Llamas eat mainly grass, shrubs, and lichens. Lichens are moss-like plants that grow on rocks and wood. Llamas are herbivores, which means they are plant eaters. They chew their food just a little and swallow it, then bring up a wad of cud. They then finish chewing it and swallow it again and finally, digest it. Cud is partly digested food. Llamas eat mainly hay, grass, and grain when in captivity. For treats, llamas like cut-up apples, carrots, broccoli, and orange peels. Because the llamas have 3 stomach compartments, the food must pass through all the stomachs during digestion.
