  Lama (genus) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lama, the modern genus name for a small group of closely allied camelids, which, before the Spanish conquest of the Americas, were the only domesticated ungulates of the continent.
The animals of the genus Lama are, with the two species of true camels, the sole existing representatives of a very distinct section of the Artiodactyla or even-toed ungulates, called Tylopoda, or "bump-footed," from the peculiar bumps on the soles of their feet, on which they tread.
The discoveries of a vast and previously unsuspected extinct fauna of the American continent of the Tertiary period, as interpreted by the palaeontologists Leidy, Cope, and Marsh, has thrown a flood of light upon the early history of this family, and upon its relations to other mammals.
