Alpacas

Yes, alpaca milk is drinkable, but it may not taste good (just a warning.)

Mountain Ash leaves are not poisonous to Alpacas. In fact, the leaves and the berries are not poisonous to any animal.

Llamas taste like deer, they are actually pretty good.

meaning of kabeesh is a monkey with growthable tail

Since alpacas and llamas can crossbreed, possibly making alpacas an endangered species since its genetic make-up is being compromised by crossbreeds with the llama. In other words when the Alpacas and llamas crossbreed, it possibly makes Alpacas an endangered species since the genetic makeup is being compromised by crossbreeding with the llama.

A full grown person CANNOT ride an alpaca -- it can severely damage it's back and give it lifelong health problems. Small children, however may be able to. Llamas can also pull carriages, though I know it does not have the same effect.

Alpacas were probably first domesticated around 4000-5000 B.C.

Alpaca wool is generally considered warmer than angora wool. Alpaca fibers have a unique structure that provides excellent insulation while remaining lightweight. Additionally, alpaca is less prone to pilling and retains heat better than angora, which is softer but not as insulating. Therefore, for warmth, alpaca is the superior choice.

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.

Alpacas are considered very easy to raise, so they do not take much time or effort to raise. Alpacas are usually fun and gentle animals and not very big in size. The financial return for Alpacas can be very rewarding whether selling the animal or meat.

A male alpaca is called a stud also can be called a herdsire or a macho,

not much mate.

i heard there allergic to cheese and other dairy produce. even their own milk

I suppose if a mountain sheep died they would live on it but now bedbugs are perfectly adapted to sharing your bed eating you dead skin

Yes, they can be woven, felted, knit, crochet. The fleece can be cleaned, carded, spun, or just used right off the alpaca.

Alpacas, my dad had an alpaca when he was in Peru. Plus they don't spit as much as llamas do.

The alpaca is classified as Lama pacos and belongs to the family Camelidae.

It depends on how the animal was treated when young, if it's a male that was just separated from "his" mate, as well as many other factors. Generally speaking alpacas can also be quite skidish as well. Poit is, do your research. You wouldn't buy a car without looking at it's history would you? Well it's the same deal with animals.

No, they do not hibernate, or "hybernate."

Alpacas have exceptional eyesight.

Yes, some people do consume llama meat. However, this is a small market in the US due to the relatively low number of llamas in the country and the perceived value of the live llama as a companion and pack animal.

Yes they do. My pet alpaca, Ronny, loves bread. Sometimes she will break into my house at night and steal some bread from my cupboard. Her favourite is cheese bread.

No, alpacas are a species of South American camelids that do not have a hump.
