Usage examples:

• On the discovery of America a llama cost as much as eighteen or twenty dollars. - "Popular Adventure Tales", Mayne Reid.
• The Merino sheep, as now naturalized in Australia, furnishes an excellent fleece; but all varieties of sheep- wool, reared either in Europe or Australia are inferior in softness of feel to that grown in India, and to that of the llama of the Andes. - "The Book of Household Management", Mrs. Isabella Beeton.
• Animals, also, were to be found there, - among which the llama, with its golden fleece, was most conspicuous, - executed in the same style, and with a degree of skill, which, in this instance, probably, did not surpass the excellence of the material. - "History-of-the-Conquest-of-Peru-with-a-preliminary-view-of-the-civilization-of-the-Incas", Prescott, William Hickling.
