Their ability to withstand long periods without water is due to a series of physiological adaptations. Their red blood cells have an oval shape, unlike those of other mammals, which are circular. This is to facilitate their flow in a dehydrated state. These cells are also more stable[7] in order to withstand high osmotic variation without rupturing when drinking large amounts of water (100 litres (22 imp gal; 26 US gal) to 150 litres (33 imp gal; 40 US gal) in one drink).[8] Oval red corpuscles are not found in any other mammal, but are present in reptiles, birds, and fish

Why do alpacas not drink much water?
Alpacas, like their close relatives the llamas and their more distant relatives the camels, do not need to drink a lot of water because they are very efficient at retaining and recycling water. They resorb a great deal of water from their intestines, to the point their feces are quite dry, and concentrate their urine significantly. With such low water loss, alpacas don't need to drink much water.
