Llamas, the next clue

October 8th, 2008 by

While I was visiting the Awana Kancha farm, I decided to take some time and visit my llama friends.  I told this nice llama about my search for the crystal skull.   She had never heard of it, but suggested I go and talk her big sister.

I found my friend’s big sister, who I think wanted to eat my new hat.  I gained the courage to ask her if she had heard of the crystal skull.  She was very kind, but had never heard of it either.  She did think she had someone who might be able to help.  She sent me to talk to the Incan Prince in Cuzco.  She felt like he would be able to guide me to the crystal skull.

Can you identify which kind of animal we are feeding a llama, an alpaca, a vicuna, or guanaco?

Watch the video for more fun Awana Kancha.

    Pre K thinks the animal is a llama. Are we right?
    By the way Mrs. T and Mrs. P Pre K is enjoying getting together every morning and seeing how your days are going! We love all of this quality time together. ;-)

    Mrs. Freyer’s class has decided that the last Llama in the video must be Jamacain.
    They would like to know how could you tell the difference between the different animals? They think they look very similar when they are shaved.
    Do the Llamas spit like camels? and Did they spit at you?

    We wouldlove to see a sample of their fur….we know it is used in making blankets and nice warm sweaters !!! Did you actually get to see them shear the alpaca ? Of the three which one is the friendliest with people ?

    We think it’s an alpaca. We hope we’re right!

    We also think it’s an alpaca. We noticed it’s black fur!

    Mrs. Gatling,

    We did not see them shear an alpaca or any other kind. They can only shear alpaca once every two years and then only in the month of December or January, which are the summer months in Peru.

    Pre-K,

    We love that we are your morning time each day. Look again at the picture and remember that alpaca’s are short have small snout’s and short necks and ears compared to a llama.

    Mrs. Freyer,

    Llamas do spit like camels according to our guide. However, we did not witness any spitting going on while we were there.

    Mrs. Weaver & Mrs. Buckingham,

    Great job! You are right that the animal is an alpaca.
