Llamas and Buffalo / May 2006

Llamas - Clover and Salt

Clover, the brown llama, was most curious . . . probably because he/she thought I had food with me. Salt, the white one, on the other hand, just totally ignored me.Domesticated from wild Guanacos more than 4000 years ago, the Llama (Lama glama) is still used today as a beast of burden in the Andes mountains of South America. They are also farmed for meat and milk, and for their long, coarse wool which is used in weaving textiles.

Buffy the Buffalo

Buffy is actually a Bison :)Early American settlers called bison “bufello” due to the similar appearance between the two animals, and the name "buffalo" stuck for the American variety. But it's incorrect. The American Bison (Bison bison) lives only in North America, while the two main buffalo species reside in Africa and Asia. A small population of bison relatives called the European Bison (Bison bonasus) lives in isolated parts of Poland.
