Im a hugeanimallover, so Im a big fan of just about every creature out there.
(Although, I only want to see some through the safety of a computer screen!)
A couple of teens had to learn this lesson the hard way after taking a trip to a pettingzoo.
Theyrenativeto South America and have been domesticated in the region of the Andes Mountains for thousands of years.
To learn more about llama behavior, we reached out to Tina Gambell atGlamping with Llamasin the UK.
Llamas do notspitat people on the whole, if their environment and needs are met, she explained.
Petting zoos meet neither of these essentials for having happy llamas!
First, we wanted to know what makes llamas so special.
They feel emotions just like every other mammal, including sadness, joy, and fear.
Llamas who have been teased with food spit quite readily.
TLDR a percentage of humans are jerks and will intentionally or unintentionally condition llamas to spit on humans.
Llamas are very curious, so playing hard to get will get you everywhere.
Llamas have been domesticated for many thousands of years.
Its not just what stories hit the media (the media is a reflection of the society).
