Baby llamas are known as what?
a. Crias
b. Calves
c. Kids
d. Foals
The answer is A, Crias!
Baby llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacoes are all called crias (singualar: cria; pronounced: cree-ah). Crias are up and standing, walking and attempting to nurse within the first hour after birth. Dams (female llamas) do not lick off their babies, as they have an attached tongue which does not reach outside of the mouth more than half an inch. Rather, they will nuzzle and hum to their newborns. Well-socialized and trained llamas are very friendly and pleasant to be around. They are extremely curious and most will approach people easily.
