How does llamas defend itself?
Llamas are usually not the type to protect cattle because cattle tend to be big and intimidating enough to predators to be able to take care of themselves. Donkeys (females usually preferred over males) may be used, however, to protect calving cows and baby calves from roaming predators. However, even the momma cows themselves are good at being very protective of their calves, especially if they are beef range cows.
Llamas are best used as livestock guardians for sheep and goats because of their aggressive nature towards predators like coyotes, wolves, cougars and even bears. But when llamas aren't enough protection, livestock guard dogs like the Great Pyrenees are even better against such large adversaries as bears and cougars when protecting their flock.
What is the difference between alpaca fur and alpaca fleece?
Alpaca fibre is in more demand in the textile business than wool because it is a natural fabric that gives more warmth without the harsh texture of wool. Alpaca apparel is warm, soft, and highly comfortable because of this. The increased awareness of alpaca fiber's high quality and sustainability has resulted in an increase in demand for the fibre in the textile and fashion industries.
The alpaca fibre market is predicted to develop dramatically in the next years, thanks to the constantly expanding number of alpaca fibre fashion boutiques around the world. With the surge in demand for warm and soft alpaca fibre, the alpaca fibre market is rising at a quick rate as the trend of supplying highly sustainable and eco-friendly clothes and accessories gains popularity in the fashion apparel industry.
Manufacturers are focusing on alpaca nutrition to improve alpaca fibre quality -
While the alpaca fibre market is increasing at a rapid pace, industry players are working to improve the quality of alpaca fibre in order to attract more customers. Because high genetic merits can lead to vast volumes of high-quality alpaca fibre, alpaca fibre manufacturers are focusing their efforts on providing nutritious diet to alpacas. Alpaca nutrition has a big impact on their health and reproduction capacities, and it also helps them produce softer, higher-quality fibre.
Peru remains the world's leading producer and exporter of alpaca fibre, with China and Italy as the primary destinations for Peruvian alpaca fibre exports. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) developed the luxury fashion brand "Alpaca del Per" for the sale of high-quality alpaca fibre clothes and accessories to capitalise on numerous commercial opportunities in the alpaca fibre market.

Additionally, guanacos have a specialized digestive system that allows them to efficiently extract nutrients from tough, fibrous vegetation. Their keen eyesight and agility help them evade predators in the wild.
