Encyclopedia Britannica (11th ed.) entry on the llama, the larger domesticated South American camelid, descended from the wild guanaco and bred as a beast of burden. It describes the animal's range, size and colouring, and quotes Augustin de Zarate's 1544 account of its use for carrying loads, its wool (especially the long-fleeced pacas) and its meat. An engraving of a llama accompanies the text.
