What does LLAMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, long-necked domesticated mammal native to South America, related to the camel, kept for its wool, as a pack animal, and increasingly as a companion animal.
A llama has been bred and used by Andean peoples for thousands of years, carrying loads across mountain trails where horses struggle with the altitude and terrain. Farmers shear a llama for its soft, warm wool, which is spun into yarn much like sheep's wool, and some farms also keep a llama to guard sheep or goats against predators. Unlike its wild relative the guanaco, a llama is fully domesticated and depends on people for care. Visitors to petting zoos and farms often meet a llama in person long before learning much about its working history in the Andes.
