Llama - Neck Length: Approx. 4.3 ft. (1.3 m)

The Llama is a domesticated South American camelid, widely used as a meat and pack animal by Andean cultures since the Pre-Columbian era. Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and Argentina are among the countries where llama herds can be found. They have also been exported to various nations throughout the globe.

These slender-bodied animals are the largest among the four lamoid species, averaging about 5.8 feet high. Additionally, these social animals have long necks that can reach 4.3 feet or 1.3 meters, in length. They consume grass and other plants as food. Long legs make it difficult for llamas to graze on the ground. In order to allow them to feed comfortably without having to kneel, it has acquired lengthy necks. A further disadvantage is that bending down to browse is suicidal because it never knows where the next predator may appear from.
