What term refers to a female llama?

• A. Dam (llama)
• B. Stud (llama)
• C. Gelding (llama)
• D. Buck (llama)

Answer: (A)

Dam is the term for the female parent in llama breeding. This naming convention mirrors how we refer to parent animals in other species, such as mares or ewes, helping keep pedigrees and records clear. A male used for breeding is a stud (or sire); a castrated male is a gelding; a male kept as a breeding animal in some contexts is simply a buck. So for a female llama, the correct term is dam.
