Lama glama
La llama puede vivir en alturas superiores a los 5.500 metros sobre el nivel del mar porque sus pulmones tienen la capacidad de oxigenarse bien a esas alturas. Tienen hasta 2 crías al año. Las orejas son grandes, lobuladas, erectas y bien implantadas en la cabeza.

Thank you Ava for choosing two of my photos for the blog. Very very interesting entrance Anser, anser! What’s the Question?!
Congratulations Isabela, your spotting is featured in the Project Noah blog today - http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/3371137...
Thank you Alice.Macchu Pichu is an incredible place.
I love this Llama!
I did wonder about the llama at the ruins. Our alpacas make equally excellent lawn mowers and brush clearers.
Thank you to all of you! When Hiram Bingham discovered Machu Picchu in 1911 it was covered by dense vegetation; nowadays the llamas are in charge of keeping these impressive ruins clear of undergrowth.
Cool!
Wow!
That llama is looking a bit pissy about you being so close behind it.
Like this particularly with the background.
