Alpacas

Alpacas are a gentle and intelligent breed of South American camel. Alpacas have a gestation period of 11.5 months and produce just one offspring per year (cria). They generally live 15 to 20 years. Alpacas are kept mostly for their fleece, however, because of their affectionate nature, many people also buy them as pets. They are specially suited to harsh climates and therefore they are generally healthy, easy to care for and disease free.
