Llamas 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 5ââ¬â8 miles. The name llama in the past also spelled `lama` or `glama` was adopted by European settlers from native Peruvians Lamoids, or llamas as they are more generally known as a group, consist of the vicuña Vicugna vicugna, prev. Lama vicugna, guanaco Lama guanicoe, Suri alpaca, and Huacaya alpaca Vicugna pacos, prev. Lama guanicoe pacos, and the domestic llama Lama glama. Guanacos and vicuñas live in the wild, while llamas and alpacas exist only as domesticated animals. Although early writers compared llamas to sheep, their similarity to the camel was soon recognized.
