It has a coat like a sheep only it’s not wool, it’s called fibers and it can be in many different colors. It has a long neck and two fingernails on each foot with a nice soft pad for a palm.

Alpaca fibers are very valued And can be woven or knitted into: blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textile. The fiber can come in as many as 52 natural colors. Another way Alpacas and llamas differ is that llamas have banana shaped ears and long tails and alpacas have straight ears and stubby tails.

During the daytime, he often sits on a high perch, usually 4-5 feet off the ground, to serve as a lookout for his flock. He will sound a distinctive alarm call if predators are nearby.
