  Comparative Placentation
Camelidae are thought to have originated in North America (Nowak, 1999; Tibary, 1997) but disappeared there approximately 10,000 years ago.
Camelidae are seasonal breeders (Sghiri and Driancourt, 1999), and "reflex ovulators" (Shalash and Nawito, 1964).
The immunoglobins of camelidae are unusual in that the antibody molecules lack light chains, being composed solely of heavy chains (Muyldermans, 2001; Spinelli et al., 2001).

Satellite associations for these species, particularly among Cervidae and Camelidae in the Neotropics and Cervidae, Antilocapridae, and possibly wild Caprinae in the Nearctic have been a consequence of introductions and exchange of parasites at historical interfaces for managed and natural ecosystems.

 Camelidae
The term llama is sometimes used more broadly, to indicate any of the four closely related animals that make up the South American branch of the family Camelidae: the llama itself, the vicuña, alpaca, and guanaco.
Many camel-like animals exhibiting different generic modifications and a gradual series of changes, coinciding with the antiquity of the deposits in which they are found, have been traced from the thoroughly differentiated species of the modern epoch down through the Pliocene to the early Miocene beds.
Their characters having become more generalized, they have lost all that especially distinguishes them as Camelidae: they are merged into forms common to the ancestral type of all the other sections of the Artiodactyles.

 FAO:AG21:Magazine:Spotlight:About camels and lamas
While camels and llamas rarely - if ever - meet, they are actually distant cousins, descendants of a rabbit-sized mammal that evolved into two of humanity's most versatile domestic animals.
The Camelidae cousins provide further evidence that domestic farm animals are crucial to food and agriculture.
FAO estimates that they provide an estimated 30 to 40% of the agricultural sector's global economic value, and contribute to the livelihoods of about 2,000 million people world-wide.
