The Short Life of a Llama

Long... llama... live...

"Long" relates to length. So, distance, depth, duration.

"Llamas" are animals. Animals are kinds of life.

And life "lives".

Llamas live for an amount of distance. No, that's not right. Duration. Llamas live for an amount of time.

Llamas and time, llamas and time. What numbers connect "llama" and "time"?

Three million years? No, that is time since migration. Three years? No, that is time to maturity. Thirty years?

Yes. Thirty years is the longest lifespan.

Now the answer is clear.
