Apart from being super cute, these quirky looking creatures hold some very interesting facts.
A few years ago I didn’t know what an Alpaca was but fast forward to this year and we now have 2 Alpaca farms near to our home town.
1. Alpaca coats are fire resistant which makes a great material choice for clothing and furnishings
2. Alpaca manure makes a fantastic fertilizer
3. They can live for up to 20 years
4. The most common sound an Alpaca makes is a humming noise
5. There are 2 types of Alpaca
One is the Huacaya which has dense, crimped fur and the other is the Suri Alpaca which has fur that resembles dreadlocks.
