• Llamas came to South America around 3 million years ago from North America. They no longer live in North America.

Llamas are so cute! We just love them! We even love to say llama! It rhymes with so many things like pajama and drama and mamma! There’s a poem in there somewhere. (Maybe one will pop up on Instagram).  We have llama in pajamas coloring sheet for you!
