In US news and current events today, these Indigenous Ecuadorian children are racing llamas as part of an annual event to remind people to care for the local national parks.
The young competitors are responsible for raising their family's llamas, keeping them well-fed, and training them for work and races.
These Indigenous groups value llamas for their ability to move goods from the mountains to the roads. Ecuador's government encourages llama breeding in the area as the unique shape of their hooves leaves less of an impact than other livestock.
The annual llama race takes place in Llanganates National Park, Learn more about the annual event, llama facts, and more about Ecuador by watching this vid.
