  1. What is the difference between Alpaca and Llama?

    • Llama is a larger and heavier compared to alpacas.

    • Ears are characteristically banana shaped in llamas, whereas those are small and erected in alpacas.

    • Distribution range of llamas is larger compared to alpacas.

    • Llamas have been originated in the Central North America, whereas alpacas descended from the South American vicuña.

    • Alpacas are reared for their valuable fibre or wool, while llamas are useful for human in many ways including as a working animal and a source of good meat and wool.

    • Llamas live longer than alpacas do.

    • Both prefer to live in herds, but llamas love being petted by humans while alpacas do not so.
