What are the adaptations of a yak?
Indigenous mountain animals like the llama, alpaca, and vicuña in the Andes or the yak in the Himalayas are adapted rather than acclimatized to the low oxygen partial pressures of high altitude. Their hemoglobin has a high oxygen affinity, so that full saturation of the blood with oxygen occurs at a lower partial pressure of oxygen. In contrast to acclimatized humans, these indigenous,...

What does the Llama breed?
Yes, llamas and alpacas can cross breed. It usually results in a "mini-llama" with a llama looking head on an alpaca size body. Huarizo is the technical term for the cross between a male alpaca and a female llama. Misti is the term for the cross of a female alpaca and a male llama. If the cria (baby) resembles a llama it's called a warilla. If it resembles an alpaca it's called a T'aqa. These crosses are considered undesirable in their native lands of Peru, Bolivia and Chile because the offspring are usually too small to be pack animals and their fleece is more coarse than pure alpaca. In the US, they are sometimes bred because they are smaller and therefore easier to handle than a full-size llama. *Llamas have also been successfully cross-bred with dromedary camels through artificial insemination.
Are alpaca's a bread of llamas or not?
Alpacas are not a breed of llama. They are similar, but it's like a lion and a cougar. They're related, but not the same species. Two of the differences between llamas and alpacas that I can think of right now are size and ear shape. Llamas are a bit larger in general than alpacas, and llama ears are banana shaped, whereas an alpaca's is straight.

What does Suri mean in Japanese?
It's llama You're right, it is a llama. I am assuming that you (this reader) knows what a llama is. A suri llama is a type of llama that differs it from the normal llamas by it's fleece. Normal llamas have fleece that is similar in looks as a sheep's wool, though llama fleece doesn't have lanolin (the type of oil in sheep's wool) in it, so it is not possible to have an allergic reaction to there fleece as some people do of wool. Anyway, "normal llamas" are called silky, because of their fleece. But suri fleece is much like a mop dog's hair. It is in beautiful locks of hair that are very separated like. It is not just a huge Afro kind-of-thing like on sheep. Suri is also MUCH heavier than regular silky (Huycaya on an alpaca). If you have a bag of suri and a bag of silky fiber that weighed the same the suri would be about ten times heavier. On the pictures you can actually see how the suri fleece is heavier by the way it hangs and doesn't puff. This is a silky llama: This is a suri llama: I know that it doesn't make sense that a suri llama is more silky feeling than a silky llama, but not everything in the world makes sense. This image below is actually an alpaca, but both llamas and alpacas have suri fleece, and this was just an awesome example of suri fiber.

What is the difference between alpaca fur and alpaca fleece?
Alpaca fibre is in more demand in the textile business than wool because it is a natural fabric that gives more warmth without the harsh texture of wool. Alpaca apparel is warm, soft, and highly comfortable because of this. The increased awareness of alpaca fiber's high quality and sustainability has resulted in an increase in demand for the fibre in the textile and fashion industries. The alpaca fibre market is predicted to develop dramatically in the next years, thanks to the constantly expanding number of alpaca fibre fashion boutiques around the world. With the surge in demand for warm and soft alpaca fibre, the alpaca fibre market is rising at a quick rate as the trend of supplying highly sustainable and eco-friendly clothes and accessories gains popularity in the fashion apparel industry. Manufacturers are focusing on alpaca nutrition to improve alpaca fibre quality - While the alpaca fibre market is increasing at a rapid pace, industry players are working to improve the quality of alpaca fibre in order to attract more customers. Because high genetic merits can lead to vast volumes of high-quality alpaca fibre, alpaca fibre manufacturers are focusing their efforts on providing nutritious diet to alpacas. Alpaca nutrition has a big impact on their health and reproduction capacities, and it also helps them produce softer, higher-quality fibre. Peru remains the world's leading producer and exporter of alpaca fibre, with China and Italy as the primary destinations for Peruvian alpaca fibre exports. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) developed the luxury fashion brand "Alpaca del Per" for the sale of high-quality alpaca fibre clothes and accessories to capitalise on numerous commercial opportunities in the alpaca fibre market.

You know about Alpaca wool but can you get Llama wool?
"We don't select our classic llamas for their fiber quality. All the characteristics of good fiber production (as well as many of the characteristics of good fiber for spinning) are directly opposed to what's ideal for keeping working llamas easily combed for weather protection without overheating ... and working performance llamas is what we raise and use. The South Americans had it absolutely right -- two kinds of llamas for two purposes. Because of our immersion in performance llamas, we also didn't start out using llama fiber at all. However, we are continually finding ourselves in the position of educating others. We knew how much misinformation from "experts" is peddled out there as "fact" in all facets of llamas, so we finally undertook learning about fiber use in order to avoid inadvertantly passing on similar misinformation about fiber (and yep, we quickly found that there's plenty of misinformation about fiber out there, too). Although we do save the more suitable combings from our own classic herd for outer-garment and nongarment use (it's quite possible to spin, although not as easy nor as satisfying), for next-to-the-skin projects, we use fiber from good-quality woolly and silky llamas and alpacas" from Lost Creek Llama Wool is a type of real fur that is shaved from and similar animals to a sheep == ==
