ummm... Llamas originated from the central plains of North America about 40 million years ago. They migrated to South America and Asia about 3 million years ago.
Very intelligent, llamas learn simple tasks after a few repetitions. When using a pack, llamas can carry about 25%–30% of their body weight for several miles.
The height of a full-grown, full-size llama is between 5.5 feet (1.6 meters) to 6 feet (1.8 m) tall at the top of the head. They can weigh between approximately 280 pounds (127 kilograms) and 450 pounds (204 kilograms).
Llamas are very social animals and like to live with other llamas as a herd.The ears are rather long and slightly curved inward, characteristically known as "banana" shaped. There is no dorsal hump. Feet are narrow, the toes being more separated than in the camels, each having a distinct plantar pad. The tail is short, and fibre is long, woolly and soft.

The Proboscis Monkey is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey. It is the only species in monotypic genus Nasalis.Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Primates
Family: Cercopithecidae
Subfamily: Colobinae
Genus: Nasalis
É. Geoffroy, 1812
Species: N. larvatus
A distinctive trait of this monkey is the male's large protruding nose from which it takes its name. The nose is thought to be used in mating and is unique to the males of the species, reaching up to 7 inches in length. Besides attracting mates, the nose serves as a resonating chamber and works by amplifying their warning calls. When the animal becomes agitated its nose swells with blood, making warning calls louder and more intense.
