I Live in Mississippi

Mississippi is a state located in the Southern United States. Jackson  is the state capital and largest city. The state’s name comes from the Mississippi River, which flows along its western boundary, and takes its name from the Ojibwe word misi-ziibi (“Great River”) or (“without source”) in ancient Chickasaw.[4]  The state is heavily forested outside of the Mississippi Delta area. Its catfish aquaculture farms produce the majority of farm-raised catfish consumed in the United States.[5]  The state symbol is the magnolia  tree.

Llamas are members of the camelid family. The camelids originated on the central plains of North America about 40 million years ago.

Llamas were domesticated from guanacos in the Andean Highlands of Peru4,000-5,000 years ago, and are among the oldest domestic animals in the world.
