llamas and alpacas


Llamas were used for some logistics, but they're not the most sturdy, modern Llamas can carry around ~40kg but I'm unsure if it would've been higher or lower with the breeds they used back then. Either way, better than nothing, but definitely no horse.


Not great beasts of burden. Barely better than dog with travois, arguably worse than having an extra human to carry things.
