I know there are a lot of Alpacas and Llamas in through the US and Canada. Our neighbor has Llamas. Traditionally they are used for their fur, meat and as pack animals. I have an old friend who use to use an alpaca to help carry his camera gear around and also his hiking bag. He had a bad leg and made many day hikes around the TX hill country. Texas also had a camel corp back in the early days. The US army experimented with them as a replacement for horses for the desert and dry areas of the US. I have heard there are a few wild ones still running around West Texas through New Mexico but I think its just hearsay. I know donkeys run those areas and do quit well. I can see all of these being used in a post apoc world. Caravan animals would be quit worth while.
