- Alpacas are known for their soft, luxurious fleece, which is hypoallergenic and comes in over 20 natural colors.
- They are gentle and social animals, often living in herds for companionship.
- Unlike llamas, alpacas are smaller and primarily bred for their fiber rather than as pack animals.
- Alpacas communicate through soft humming sounds and use body language, such as ear and tail movements, to express their moods.
