Alpacas are small endearing animals of the camelid family. They were domesticated over 5,000 years ago, and became a cherished treasure of the ancient Incan civilization. Their fine cashmere-like fleece was reserved solely for royalty. These amazing animals provided the food, fuel and clothing for a civilization that thrived in an otherwise hostile environment. Alpacas communicate through soft humming noises and unique body language.

Life span -15 to 25 years
Height - 32" to 39" at the shoulder
Weight -105 to 155 lbs
