LLama at Libertador Lake Titicaca, Puno, Peru, South America
The llama (Lama glama) is a domesticated South American camelid, widely used as a meat and pack animal by Andean cultures since the Pre-Columbian era. The height of a full-grown, full-size llama is 1.7 to 1.8 m (5.6 to 5.9 ft) tall at the top of the head, and can weigh between 130 and 200 kg (290 and 440 lb). At birth, a baby llama (called a cria) can weigh between 9 and 14 kg (20 and 31 lb). Llamas typically live for 15 to 25 years, with some individuals surviving 30 years or more.They are very social animals and live with other llamas as a herd. The wool produced by a llama is very soft and lanolin-free. Llamas are intelligent and can learn simple tasks after a few repetitions. When using a pack, they can carry about 25 to 30% of their body weight for 8 to 13 km (5 u20138 miles)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of a llama at Libertador Lake Titicaca in Puno, Peru. Standing tall and proud, this domesticated South American camelid is an integral part of Andean cultures since ancient times. Known for its versatility as both a meat and pack animal, the llama has played a crucial role in the Pre-Columbian era. With its head held high, this majestic creature showcases its impressive height of 1.7 to 1.8 meters at the top of its head and can weigh between 130 to 200 kilograms. Even from birth, llamas are remarkable beings, with baby llamas or crias weighing between 9 to 14 kilograms. Llamas are not only known for their strength but also for their intelligence and social nature. They live harmoniously in herds and have been companions to humans for centuries. The wool they produce is exceptionally soft and lanolin-free, making it highly sought after. In this photograph by Artie Photography (Artie Ng), we witness the stunning landscape of Puno region in Peru's South America where these magnificent creatures roam freely amidst breathtaking views. This image serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that thrives within these Bolivian Andes - a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals throughout history.
