What is different about a Llama Foot?
Many llamas need to have the toenails trimmed just like humans. It depends on each llama, how fast their nails grow and what type of surface they walk on. Because of their soft and sturdy feet a llama makes an ideal pack animal in State Parks because they do not damage the ground like an animal with a hoof.
