Description:

The height of a full-grown, full-size llama is between 1.7 meters (5.5 ft) and 1.8 meters (6 ft) tall at the top of the head. They can weigh between approximately 130 kilograms (280 lb) and 200 kilograms (450 lb).

Habitat:

Notes:

I spotted this llama walking around Machu Picchu. The ruins were often shrouded in cloud and it was strange to see a llama walking out of the mist.
