Alpacas can and often do live with llamas in captivity. Many people keep at least one llama in with their alpacas to protect them from & warn them of predators, as llamas are more inclined to fight off predators and protect their herd than alpacas.

Alpacas are farmed as livestock all over the world. Originally they are from South America but were introduces as alternative livestock to all othere Cotinents.
Although the lifespan of an animal greatly ranges, alpacas generally live for 15 - 20 years. IF a female has had many crias, or a male has had many offspring, the odds may be lower that they reach over the age of 20. Alpacas are not slaughtered for meat, so it is usually common that they live to a rather old age. Although the lifespan of an animal greatly ranges, alpacas generally live for 15 - 20 years.
