Fun Facts
- Fossil footprints found in California indicate that llamas, relatives of camels, originated in North America.
It is believed that the animals that moved north and crossed the Bering land bridge evolved into camels, while the ones that migrated to the south became the "lama" family.
- Llamas make a variety of sounds. The most common sound is a humming noise. A female will hum to her cria (offspring). Males orgle, which sounds like a gurgle, during breeding. If a couple of males decide to have a fight, they will start screaming at each other. If a llama perceives danger, it sends an alarm call, which warns the rest of the herd.
- In the wild, a male will find a high vantage point to watch over his herd of females and if he spots danger, will start alarm calling. Moments later every male in the vicinity will be alarm calling.
- The idea that llamas spit is true. Llamas usually spit to settle an argument over food or to decide which is the dominant llama. A female will also spit at a male to tell him to get lost. They do not normally spit at humans unless they are provoked.
Their body language will warn other llamas; flattened ears are a signal to back off and are usually sufficient. The next threat may be a spitting sound, but using only air.
Ecology and Conservation
Also known as the "new world camel", llamas were domesticated in the early 1500s and are valuable work animals.
They, like all camelids, differ from other mammals in that their red blood corpuscles are oval instead of round. This adaptation allows them to take in more oxygen, making them well suited to life at high altitudes.
Their coat is used to make cloth and other material goods.
In the wilds of South America, pumas (or mountain lions) are llamas' only natural predator. In North America, cougars and bears have been known to take llamas.
In South America, thousands are used for meat each year.

What Does a Llama Sound Like? How Do Llamas Communicate?
Llamas are docile, quiet animals, and while they are not outwardly vocal creatures, they do have their own unique form of communication. If you’ve ever spent any time around llamas, you’ll likely have noticed the low humming sound they use, often likened to a cat purring or even a person humming. But llamas are capable of some other interesting vocalizations too.
If you’ve ever wondered what llamas sound like and how they communicate, you’ve come to the right place. Read on below to find out more!
Types Of Llama Sounds
Here are all of the various sounds you’re likely to hear a llama make:
Humming
The most common of all llama vocalizations, llama humming is a relaxing and peaceful sound, often referred to as “morning humming” as they typically make this sound in the morning.
Llamas will make this sound when they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed, and it can sound very human-like at times.
Llamas also purr at times, a sound very similar to humming, and is also an indication that your llama is happy and content. Cats are not the only animals that purr, and it’s easy to mistake the purring of a llama with that of a cat!
Grunting and Grumbling
Llamas also emit a grunting sound occasionally, most often when they’re hungry. They may also grunt when they feel uncomfortable, and this could indicate that they have pain or digestive discomfort of some kind.
Snorting
Llamas will again snort or sneeze when they feel uncomfortable, or possibly when they’re about to spit! They may simply have an itch in their nose, or they are feeling slightly threatened and letting you know they want their space. It’s important to watch your llama’s body language as well as the sound they’re making to really understand what they’re trying to say.
Alarm
Llamas are commonly used to guard sheep flocks for farmers, and when you hear their alarm sound it’s easy to understand why! The call sounds almost like a high-pitched neighing horse and is a sure sign that the llama feels threatened by something. Llamas will often make this sound before spitting, so be sure to steer clear! If you have a herd of llama around other animals and you hear this sound, it’s best to pay attention as there may be a predator nearby that your llama is trying to warn you of.
Screaming
Llamas also produce a loud, high-pitched, and somewhat disturbing scream that can sound very much like a human at times. There are various reasons for llamas producing this sound; fear, pain, or even if they feel threatened, and so it’s a sound you’ll want to pay attention to and respond to immediately.
Orgling or Mating call
Similar to grunting, llamas make an orgling sound when in heat or looking for a mate. It’s similar to both grunting and snorting but a fair bit more intense and somewhat longer.
Sometimes, llamas will also scream during mating season, which usually begins in January and lasts about 3 months.
How Do Llamas Communicate?
Llamas communicate using all of the above-mentioned sounds, most commonly humming or grunting. While llamas are capable of several unique vocalizations, they use these sounds in different ways in different situations. For example, llamas will grunt when they feel unhappy or uncomfortable, but can also grunt a lot during the breeding season while looking for a mate and may even scream during this period too—although a scream is typically used as an alarm call.
This is why it’s important to take note of a llama’s body language as well as their vocalizations when trying to understand them more deeply. Look for signs like pulled-back ears and stamping feet, these are sure signs that a llama is unhappy and should be left alone. If your llama seems calm and is very still and relaxed, emitting a gentle humming sound, they are likely in a good mood and happy to be approached.
Do Llamas Spit?
Yes! Just like their close cousin the camel, llamas won’t hesitate to spit if they feel annoyed or threatened. Female llamas spit to let a male know she’s not interested during the breeding season, and males and females spit to keep others away from food.

Final Thoughts: Llama Sounds
Llamas communicate in a variety of ways, and the sound you’ll hear coming from them the most is a calming, soothing humming sound. They also grunt, snort, and even scream at times, although these sounds are usually reserved for when they feel threatened or during the breeding season. Communication is not reserved solely to sounds, though, and body language is also an important method of communication. Typically, a pulled-back head, an upward-pointed chin, and stamping feet are sure signs to steer clear!

Service to others
Although there are many people in the world who claim to be completely dedicated to the welfare of others, I think His Holiness - as we usually call him - is truly remarkable for his sincerity in this regard.
This sincerity is transferred to others when they are in his presence, listen to him and realize what he is doing. He always speaks in terms of the three main ideas that he has been trying to spread all his life. The first is secular ethics; the second is the harmony of religions; and third, concern for the well-being of Tibet and the Tibetans, since this role was entrusted to him.
Ethics
The Dalai Lama often discusses the topics of secular ethics and the harmony of religions, because the world is in great need of ethics: because of its lack, there is so much corruption, dishonesty, disharmony between people.
The Dalai Lama thinks very broadly and without prejudice: he always speaks and thinks, caring for the welfare of the seven billion inhabitants of our planet. Among them are professing one religion or another and non-believers, and we need a moral base that is acceptable to all.
The Dalai Lama calls it secular ethics. This does not mean being against all religions or belief systems: on the contrary, it involves respect for all beliefs as well as the needs of non-believers. It is based on what the Dalai Lama calls "basic human values." Sometimes he does not use the concept of "secular ethics" and says that the time has come to spread the basic human values rooted in biology. Maternal love and care for a newborn child are very simple, innate manifestations, characteristic not only for people, but also for animals; it is caring for others. What is inspiring about the Dalai Lama's message is that we see it translated into his own life.
Schedule
His Holiness travels all over the world with an absolutely incredible schedule. Now, in 2013, he is 78 and travels all over the world, often staying in one city for just a day. His schedule is just ruthless.
I traveled with His Holiness as a public relations assistant, translator and so on, so I know what his schedule is. Several lectures a day, press conferences, personal meetings - he hardly has time to eat. Every day he wakes up at 3:30 in the morning, regardless of jet lag, and practices deep meditation for about four hours. He has so much power, he always does everything with humor and cares about everyone he meets. It's really amazing to see how happy he is to see other people, whoever they are: "I have another person in front of me, how wonderful!"
Love
Buddhism speaks of heartfelt love that fills the heart with warmth when you see another person: you are just happy to meet and really interested in his or her well-being. We can see this when the Dalai Lama communicates with others, for example, just walking through a gathering of people: how he looks at people, how he gives his full attention to everyone he sees.
This shows that he truly cares about the welfare of everyone and everyone equally. Therefore, he considers the idea of spreading human values, secular ethics, the most beneficial for everyone. He does not think narrowly, "like a Buddhist." He cares about how to teach ethical values at a secular level in educational programs around the world to teach children why it is good to be honest and kind, as well as all other basic human values that would be very beneficial to the whole world.
Interreligious harmony
There are many difficulties due to disputes between different religious groups. The cause of these problems may lie in distrust, fear, and other factors. The Dalai Lama says that for the harmony of religions, first of all, enlightenment is needed, and not just secular ethics, but the study of each other's traditions.
In fact, we are afraid of the unknown: this is how prejudices about other societies and religions arise that do not correspond to reality. Talking about meetings of religious leaders in which he participates, where everyone gathers, smiles and treats each other well, and then pray together or meditate in silence and the like, the Dalai Lama says: “It is very nice, but not very fruitful ". Just repeating: “Yes, we are talking about the same thing. We are all one”, pointing only to the general, will not help to learn more about each other.
In June of this year, His Holiness met with several masters of the Sufi tradition, where he said that he wanted to learn not only about the similarities, but also about the differences. He explained that we should not be ashamed of differences: thanks to them, we can learn from each other that, perhaps, will be useful for our efforts to work on ourselves. The goal of all religions is the same - to make the life of their followers happier, but their methods differ. This is how it should be, because everyone is different.
The Dalai Lama says: “We are all trying to teach our followers to develop love, kindness and other qualities. What method are you using? Which one do we use? Here's what we can learn from you. Differences can be seen and treated with respect as learning opportunities. It would be nice to hold meetings where really serious followers of different religions gather and share their experiences - not in public, but communicating at the level of real practitioners. It would be of great benefit."
Science
As you can see, the Dalai Lama's first duty is to look after the welfare of everyone. Of course, he has a special responsibility towards the Tibetan people and the Tibetan traditions of Buddhism, but these are not his only concerns. Since childhood, His Holiness has been very interested in science, mechanics, how everything works. He has been meeting scientists since the early 1980s and sincerely wants to learn from them.
He says if scientists can demonstrate anything that contradicts the Buddhist teachings, such as describing the universe and the beginning of its existence, it would be perfectly appropriate to exclude it from Buddhism. The Western scientific understanding of how the brain works, the chemicals involved in its work, and so on, can perfectly complement the Buddhist worldview.
Buddhism also has a lot of knowledge to share with scholars. This is related to the categories of Buddhist science (Buddhist knowledge) and Buddhist philosophy. For example, Buddhism offers a detailed map of emotions: how the inner world of emotions works and how to work with them; this topic is presented in Buddhist analysis very scientifically. This is extremely useful for Western scientists as well. His Holiness established the study of the exact sciences in the monasteries, adding them to the curriculum of monks and nuns. Exact science textbooks were translated from English into Tibetan. Thus, for the leader of one of the world's religions, he is a surprisingly open-minded person.
Reach out to other traditions
His Holiness seeks to reach out to the Muslim world. So he supports my Buddhist archive in translating the foundational Buddhist teachings and more general materials on basic human values, ethics and so on into Islamic languages, which is what we do. For the past few years, Islam has been demonized, and this is very unfortunate. It is important to include Muslims in the picture of the world, and not to exclude them as a threat. It is important to tell them about Buddhist ideas - of course, without trying to convert them to Buddhism - just to share general knowledge, and learn about them in the same way. Enlightenment is the path to understanding and friendship.
Within Buddhism itself, there are Mahayana traditions practiced in Tibet, China, Japan and other countries, and Theravada traditions practiced in Southeast Asia. Unfortunately (and, perhaps, this will surprise many), both sides know little about each other. His Holiness initiated and financially supported a very thorough comparative study project by a Buddhist nun from America. The project focuses on how various Buddhist methods are practiced in the Mahayana and Theravada. The work will be translated into Southeast Asian languages to share this important knowledge.
Women's monastic tradition
Although there are of course many full vowed monks in Tibet, the lineage of full vowed nuns did not cross the Himalayas from India, for various reasons, mostly geographical. In ancient times, walking from India to Tibet was too difficult for a group of Indian nuns. Thus, the lineage was interrupted: a group of ten nuns with a full set of vows is needed to transmit the lineage.
Again, the Dalai Lama has funded research and projects to find out how this lineage can be revived and give women who want to become full-voted nuns in the Tibetan tradition the opportunity to do so.
"I am a simple monk"
It seems to me that one of the most attractive qualities of His Holiness is his perfect practicality, simplicity, complete absence of pretentiousness and arrogance. He always says that he is a simple monk and an ordinary person, just like everyone else. He says: “Whoever I meet, I treat him or her like another person. Our communication is a conversation between two people, not the Dalai Lama and an ordinary person or a Tibetan and a foreigner. These are minor differences; First of all, we are all human. "
He immediately debunks any fantasy that people have: that he is a god, a deity, a king, or has special magical powers. Speaking to a huge audience of tens of thousands of people, he is completely relaxed and feels at home. He is not at all concerned about how he looks from the outside: if he feels itchy, then it itches like the most ordinary person. He doesn't try to show off anything. If he is wearing rubber slippers, going to meet the president of any country, he remains in them. He's not trying to impress anyone.
Humor
It is amazing how His Holiness can say things with humor that others would not be able to do. Once when His Holiness was giving a lecture, his seat was extremely uncomfortable and at the end of the speech he told the organizers – and of course the whole audience heard it – that everything was perfectly prepared and so on, but next time please find a seat better, this chair is very uncomfortable! But he said it in such an easy and loving manner that no one was offended, on the contrary, everyone laughed. In the same way, he reprimands people.
Visit to Vaclav Havel
I accompanied His Holiness when he was invited by Václav Havel, the first President of the Czech Republic when it was still part of Czechoslovakia. His Holiness was the second person he invited, and the first was Frank Zappa, a rock star. Havel wanted His Holiness to teach meditation to him and the cabinet. He said: “We have no experience. We have no idea how to govern the state and feel a lot of stress, we can not sleep. Could you teach us how to calm down? Otherwise, we will not be able to manage the new state.”
Vaclav Havel was a very practical man and he invited His Holiness and the ministers to the summer palace, a large castle outside of Prague. He himself has not been there yet. The palace was very large, and, passing through the halls, everyone got lost. Once he told the Dalai Lama, "It was a brothel for communist leaders." Usually no one uses such expressions and does not say such things to the Dalai Lama, but Vaclav Havel was a very prosaic person in this sense. Then everyone, including the Dalai Lama, sat on the floor in one of the large rooms. Havel and his ministers were dressed in tracksuits. His Holiness taught them simple breathing and energy meditations to help calm the mind.
Usually His Holiness does not eat in the evening, he strictly follows his monastic vows, but he is not too categorical, and President Havel prepared dinner in the palace. They spoke in English, and it is very interesting that during the conversation, the Dalai Lama scolded Vaclav Havel for being a heavy smoker. He smoked right at the table next to the Dalai Lama, which is not very acceptable. Before him was the president of the country, but the Dalai Lama felt very at ease, criticizing him: “You smoke too much, and this can lead to cancer and other diseases. You really need to cut back on cigarettes.” This was a very kind act on the part of His Holiness. Vaclav Havel actually later developed lung cancer. This is just an example of how His Holiness's main concern is the welfare of the other person. He doesn't worry about what they think of him.
Mind and memory
Without a doubt, the Dalai Lama is the smartest person I have ever met. He has a perfect photographic memory. He is fluent in the largest collection of Buddhist teachings than anyone else in all of the Buddhist traditions. He can quote any text. When studying, Tibetans memorize all the main texts, on average somewhere around a thousand pages, but the Dalai Lama remembers an incredible amount of comments. When giving teachings, he takes one little passage from here, one from there; It is very difficult. This is how his memory works, and this is a sign of very high intelligence: you are able to compare information, see how different things are connected, and detect patterns. How do people like Einstein discover "E=mc2"? They can compare many different phenomena and see a common principle. The Dalai Lama is able to operate with extensive knowledge of Tibetan texts.
He has a photographic memory not only for texts but also for faces. I have seen this many times. I was present when a very old monk came from Tibet and was able to visit Dharamsala. Seeing him, His Holiness said, “Oh! I remember you. Thirty years ago, when I was traveling to India, we stayed at your monastery. A ceremony was held there, and you were holding a platter with offerings. The dish was very heavy, so it was very difficult for you to hold it until the end of the ritual. Do you remember?" That was incredible. My primary teacher, Serkong Rinpoche, was one of the Dalai Lama's mentors. He recalled that when His Holiness was a child and something was explained to him, it was always enough once. His Holiness immediately understood and remembered.
Achievements
Before us is one of the most outstanding people of our time - what is his significance? In the following: look what he has achieved as a man. As he says, he worked hard on himself to become better, but we can do it too. See how he deals with different problems. Can you imagine what it's like when over a billion people on this planet consider you public enemy number one? His Holiness just laughs at this, he knows it's not true, he doesn't have horns on his head. And how would you feel if you were called a demon in monastic robes?
He never loses heart. According to him, he has never experienced depression and it is difficult for him to understand this. I remember he admitted that he had never heard or thought that people could have low self-esteem or self-hatred. He had never experienced it, and had never experienced it himself.
He remains an optimist, but at the same time a realist. Regarding the current difficulties in the world, he says: "These problems were created by mankind, and it can also solve them." He tries to contribute to this by spreading the idea of basic human values, including ethics in the system of children's education, trying to establish harmony among different cultures and religions. He actively contributes to the well-being of the whole world, maintaining a completely modest, realistic attitude. This is the most attractive. Add to this a sense of humor and incredible energy - amazing.
Secretaries and assistants always tell the Dalai Lama that he needs to rest and travel less. During his travels, his every day is scheduled by the minute: dozens of meetings and often daily flights. But he constantly says: “No, as long as I have enough strength, I will travel like this, because it helps others.”
Its value is that it gives us hope. He is so sincere and works so hard. He absolutely realistically says how to make humanity better: education, mutual understanding, ethics are needed. It is possible, we are not talking about miraculous methods. When he comes to our country or city, it is a wonderful and worthwhile opportunity to meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama in person.

FAQ
How does His Holiness manage to combine all the spiritual duties and practical tasks, such as arranging the lives of refugees?
He not only studied and meditated a lot, but also served as head of the Central Administration of Tibet in exile. Boldly, wisely and prudently, he left this position, taking the position of the head of the administration ( sikyong ) elective. But before that, for many years he oversaw all efforts to resettle refugees, restore monasteries and other institutions, and so on. I think his main strategy was realism, he didn’t turn what was happening into a terrifying, monstrous situation: “This is too much, I can’t do this, it’s impossible,” but he did his job in a very organized way. Thanks to his amazing mind and memory, he remembers all the projects under his supervision and knows how to delegate responsibilities. He just does what needs to be done, it is not difficult for him.
I often joke that the Kalachakra system is very helpful in learning how to do many different things. In the Kalachakra mandala, you need to visualize 722 figures. Perhaps the Dalai Lama is one of the few masters who can do this. If we think about ourselves in the context of this system of practice, in such a vast and complex way, then when a new task or problem comes up, it's just another detail. Nothing frightens us and we do not make an elephant out of a fly.
Life is difficult, and for some people it is more difficult than for others. Instead of being afraid of difficulties, why not accept them? The more difficult, the better! For example, on my site we work with 21 languages. Nothing special, we can do it. If necessary, we will add more, why not? This is a small project compared to everything the Dalai Lama does. But it shows our possibilities. There is no place for complaints: "Poor me." You just do it. As my mother would say, "without hesitation."
Please explain why the Dalai Lama is called His Holiness, even though he himself emphasizes that he is a simple man?
The Dalai Lama himself does not call himself His Holiness. I don't know who first started using this term in English, but apparently it was taken from a Christian title and it stuck. People use it as a sign of respect, like "His Highness" in relation to the king. In Tibetan, there are many respectful references to a spiritual mentor, there are also special ones for the Dalai Lama, but they do not literally mean "His Holiness. " This is a simple convention accepted by the people, and the Dalai Lama cannot force them to stop calling themselves that, although he certainly does not want people to worship him as a god.
Since you know Tibetan, perhaps you can suggest a better English word?
Most commonly used in Tibetan is the title Kundun, which means "Supreme Presence". It is difficult to translate it into other languages, but this means that it personifies, embodies all the best qualities of the most developed beings. You are in the presence of a person with really high realization. I offered this title, but no one was interested.
Summary
Some consider him their spiritual mentor, others see him as a superstar. There are those who call him "a wolf in sheep's clothing." In fact, the Dalai Lama works tirelessly for the benefit of others and world peace, spreading the ideas of secular ethics and inter-religious harmony. The embodiment of love, compassion and wisdom, he gives us inspiration, showing us what we can achieve as human beings.

MOSCOW, July 7 - RIA Novosti, Olga Lipich. The Dalai Lama, who turned 86 on July 6, the next day announced to doctors his determination to live to at least 110 years, although some predictions speak of 113 years, and revealed the secret of longevity. According to the world-famous Buddhist spiritual leader, he was congratulated the day before happy birthday "so many friends, including government leaders." "I do not consider this a manifestation of diplomacy, all these congratulations are sincere, from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate them very much and am grateful to everyone who thinks that my life is useful to people. This fills me with inner determination, the strength to live as long as I can," the Dalai Lama explained. He also said that, being a refugee from Tibet, for more than 60 years he has been living in India, thanks to its government, freely and peacefully. And, at least a few hours a day, devotes to meditation. The deep foundation of his practice is karuna (compassion) and ahimsa (non-violence). Judging by the words of the Dalai Lama, these principles and practices promote peace of mind, and a calm mind, in turn, brings a person happiness, health and longevity. "This is part of the Buddhist tradition of the ancient Indian University of Nalanda, whose teachings have spread in Tibet since the 8th century .
.. I have the opportunity to meet with representatives of various fields of science. Modern scientists are primarily interested in the structure of the brain and physical health of a person. But they have no special methods to help a person achieve peace of mind.Therefore, a number of scientists highly value our knowledge of how to deal with one's troubled mind, not through medicine, but through reflection ... Karuna (compassion) is the real antidote to anger, fear, envy and other negative emotions, which, as scientists prove, have a detrimental effect, including on the physical health of a person,” says the Dalai Lama. The 14th Dalai Lama (Lhamo Dhondrub, later Tenzin Gyatso) was born on July 6, 1935 years in the village of Taktser in northeastern Tibet. In 1937 he was recognized as the reincarnation of his predecessor, the 13th Dalai Lama, and in 1940 he was enthroned. After Tibet was incorporated into China, the 14th Dalai Lama fled to India in 1959. His residence is located in the city of Dharamsala in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh, in the foothills of the Himalayas.
Buddhists consider the Dalai Lama (in translation - "ocean teacher") the embodiment of Avalokiteshvara - the Buddha of Compassion. For educational activities in different countries and peacekeeping efforts, the Dalai Lama XIV was awarded at 1989 Nobel Peace Prize. He pays special attention to the development of education and the interaction of Buddhism with modern science throughout his life, and in recent years he has been actively collaborating with outstanding Russian scientists.
