Do llamas spit?
Most llamas, ours included, have no desire to spit at a human, no more than most humans (including, so far, all of our guests) feel the need to spit at a llama. All llamas spit occasionally at one another, usually over food or personal space, and it is possible to get caught in the crossfire if you get in the middle! Llamas also typically give warning beforehand. We’ve never had a llama spit at a guest. (We’ve never had a guest spit at a llama, either.) Llamas have been domesticated for thousands of years in South America, where the llama is called “the Speechless Brother” for its willingness to carry burdens, and they have calm, gentle dispositions around us humans. Llamas truly enjoy being out on the trail with people. You’ll quickly appreciate “your” llama’s curiosity, personality, and willingness to serve.
