Fun facts about alpacas

• Once a year our alpacas get the most amazing haircut. Alpacas are quite slim under their huge wooly coats and the shearers always leave a ‘mop top’ on their heads so they look really comical!
• Alpaca fleece is hugely sought after. It get spun into a yarn and people use it for knitting as its very warm and very soft.
• Baby alpacas are called ‘cria’ (pronounced cree-ah).
• Alpacas always poo in the same spot, as do rhino!
• Do alpacas spit? They can do yes, it’s to warn people or predators away, or to tell a male alpaca they’re not interested in his advances!
• There are no wild alpacas – the alpaca is the domesticated version of the vicuña!
