Hi everyone,
A lot of people asks us about the differences of an alpaca and a llama. So here they go:
What's the difference between alpacas and llamas?
.
First of all, alpacas are smaller than llamas. The difference is big (around 10 inches). Their faces are also dissimilar. Alpacas have small faces with short ears while llamas have a more elongated faces and big ears.
.
Then, we have the hair. Alpacas hair is super soft and the color vary greatly, from whites and light yellows to brown and black. The llamas hair is coarser and considered inferior.
.
Also, llamas tend to be more aggresive and they can be used to guard livestock. The alpacas are timid and like to stay with their herd. .
Hope everyone has a great weekend 🙌🏻
