They Make Good Guard Animals Llamas are sometimes called upon for protection duties. Farmers often use them to guard herds of small animals, like sheep, goats, and even alpacas, as they have been known to boldly chase off predators like coyotes.

Southeast Llama Rescue reports that aggressive llamas may spit, attempt to bite people, and chase them up and down fence-lines, alongside other aberrant behaviors. The rescue also reports only one documented case of indirect Death by Llama, a figure that may have to be revised upward.

Llamas spit as a show of dominance over other llamas. This is either because the llama has been mistreated and no longer trusts humans, or because it has been raised by humans and therefore sees them as part of the herd. If a llama sees you as just another llama, it might want to show you who’s boss.
