Llamas resemble shaggy <link="proto:Camel">camels</link> without humps. They live in herds and are sometimes added to herds of sheep, <link="proto:Goat">goats</link>, and even geese to protect these animals from predators. Humans use them as beasts of burden or sources of meat, milk, and wool. When aggravated or making displays of dominance or displeasure, llamas can spit up greenish stomach acid. They have thick, wooly coats, commonly brown, black and white or piebald. Llamas include four species of related animals - two (the llama and the <link="proto:Alpaca">alpaca</link>) are domestic, and two (the guanaco and the vicuna) are wild.
