ALPACAS
Alpacas actually come from Peru, Chile and Bolivia.
They are very robust, - even big temperature fluctuations do not cause them any problems!
Like llamas, they belong to the camel family.
Being calloused, they have soft pads under their hooves that give them good grip and protect the grazing ground.
These social animals need other alpacas around them and want to be kept in groups.
