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.
