What does the Llama breed?
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.
Are alpaca's a bread of llamas or not?
Alpacas are not a breed of llama. They are similar, but it's like a lion and a cougar. They're related, but not the same species. Two of the differences between llamas and alpacas that I can think of right now are size and ear shape. Llamas are a bit larger in general than alpacas, and llama ears are banana shaped, whereas an alpaca's is straight.

What does Suri mean in Japanese?
It's llama You're right, it is a llama. I am assuming that you (this reader) knows what a llama is. A suri llama is a type of llama that differs it from the normal llamas by it's fleece. Normal llamas have fleece that is similar in looks as a sheep's wool, though llama fleece doesn't have lanolin (the type of oil in sheep's wool) in it, so it is not possible to have an allergic reaction to there fleece as some people do of wool. Anyway, "normal llamas" are called silky, because of their fleece. But suri fleece is much like a mop dog's hair. It is in beautiful locks of hair that are very separated like. It is not just a huge Afro kind-of-thing like on sheep. Suri is also MUCH heavier than regular silky (Huycaya on an alpaca). If you have a bag of suri and a bag of silky fiber that weighed the same the suri would be about ten times heavier. On the pictures you can actually see how the suri fleece is heavier by the way it hangs and doesn't puff. This is a silky llama: This is a suri llama: I know that it doesn't make sense that a suri llama is more silky feeling than a silky llama, but not everything in the world makes sense. This image below is actually an alpaca, but both llamas and alpacas have suri fleece, and this was just an awesome example of suri fiber.
IS angora or alpaca wool WARMER?
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.
You know about Alpaca wool but can you get Llama wool?
"We don't select our classic llamas for their fiber quality. All the characteristics of good fiber production (as well as many of the characteristics of good fiber for spinning) are directly opposed to what's ideal for keeping working llamas easily combed for weather protection without overheating ... and working performance llamas is what we raise and use. The South Americans had it absolutely right -- two kinds of llamas for two purposes. Because of our immersion in performance llamas, we also didn't start out using llama fiber at all. However, we are continually finding ourselves in the position of educating others. We knew how much misinformation from "experts" is peddled out there as "fact" in all facets of llamas, so we finally undertook learning about fiber use in order to avoid inadvertantly passing on similar misinformation about fiber (and yep, we quickly found that there's plenty of misinformation about fiber out there, too). Although we do save the more suitable combings from our own classic herd for outer-garment and nongarment use (it's quite possible to spin, although not as easy nor as satisfying), for next-to-the-skin projects, we use fiber from good-quality woolly and silky llamas and alpacas" from Lost Creek Llama Wool is a type of real fur that is shaved from and similar animals to a sheep == ==
