Apart
from the species of camel already mentioned there are four other members of the
camel family which not possess humps. These are the Llama, Guanaco, Alpaca and
Vicuna, all from South America. From the time of the Inca Civilization these
animals have been domesticated by man, and to this day they are invaluable to
Indians living at high altitudes. They are used mainly as beasts of burden and
will happily bear loads of up 100 pounds in weight if properly handled. A Llama
that is annoyed will spit in the face of the offender with great accuracy.
