You got it. ...Wait, were you the one who caught those llamas?

Not quite, it’s actually 35 mph. The world’s fastest human runner has clocked nearly 28 mph — so 35 mph is pretty impressive for an animal that’s mostly neck.

Question 5: You can drink llama milk.

True

False

Correct! Llama milk is lower in fat and higher in calcium than cow or goat milk — and pretty useful for farmers as a source of nutrition and income.
