A llama can spit over a distance of about 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters). Even at that range, a llama can spit with surprising accuracy, so donât drop your guard too quickly.2 of 2 Show All.lamas definitely do spit, a trait they share with other South American camelids. Iâve seen a llama spit all over a tourist in Bolivia and -- believe me -- itâs not a pretty sight.
The height of a full-grown, full-size llama is 1.7 to 1.8 m (5.6 to 5.9 ft) tall at the top of the head, and can weigh between 130 and 200 kg (290 and 440 lb). At birth, a baby llama (called a cria) can weigh between 9 and 14 kg (20 and 31 lb). Llamas typically live for 15 to 25 years, with some individuals surviving 30 years or more. They are very social animals and live with other llamas as a herd. The wool produced by a llama is very soft and lanolin-free. Llamas are intelligent and can learn simple tasks after a few repetitions. When using a pack, they can carry about 25 to 30% of their body weight for 8 to 13 km (5â8 miles).
