Baby alpacas are called "cria," which is derived from the Spanish word "criar," meaning "to raise" or "to rear." This term is commonly used in the context of various camelids, including llamas and vicuñas, to refer to their young. The use of "cria" helps distinguish the young animals from adults and reflects the cultural heritage associated with these animals in South America.
