You love alpacas and would like to visit an alpaca farm?
BellePaga's partner breeders offer various activities in the wild with our favorite camelids: alpacas.
But first, let's explain everything there is to know about alpacas and alpaca breeders!
The alpaca looks a lot like a llama, and for good reason, it is its cousin. Its natural habitat is in the Andes Mountains on a plateau between 3500 and 4500 meters of altitude! The particularity of this altitude is that the temperature varies between - 20°C and + 30°C! Therefore, alpacas must be able to adapt.
Their fur keeps them warm and allows them to breathe without getting wet, which prevents them from getting sick.
Alpacas are animals belonging to the camelid family. Its average size is between 90 and 100 cm. It is entirely covered with wool and is characterized by erect and pointed spear-shaped ears and a rather rounded back. It also has a long neck and two toes, two pads and two nails. Alpacas weigh about 80 kg and are between 75 and 1 m long. It comes in 22 natural colors. The life span of an alpaca is generally 20 years. Alpacas live in herds, they are gentle and very sociable, they get along well with other animals, but they prefer their own.
It is a social animal, and it needs to live in a hierarchical group environment. The males are the ones who protect the group from the outside world, while the females are the masters within the family. They are very suspicious of other males who are considered potential competitors.
Alpacas make relatively quiet sounds, similar to the sound of a llama or a fox. Alpacas spit, but they only spit when they want to establish a hierarchy in the herd and when they are angry. They will never spit at a man without a reason. It happens if and only if they are disturbed.
Be careful not to confuse alpaca and llama!
Here are some explanations:
Llamas are much larger than alpacas, they are about 150 cm long, while alpacas have a maximum length of 100 cm.
Llamas have a longer snout than alpacas, less hair on the forehead, a longer neck, but also rounder ears.
Llamas are often used for transporting goods, unlike alpacas, which are mainly raised for their wool.
The personality of llamas is also what distinguishes them, they are very confident and brave. It is also said that they are arrogant. As for the alpacas, they are shy animals, very docile, more intelligent and more curious than the llamas.
