I always get Alpaca often confused with the llama how can you tell the difference?
I think alpacas are smaller than llamas. 
I love how fluffy they are they auction them off a lot and the cost for one is sky high.
Yes that alpaca fiber is so soft! It's used to make all kinds of things like blankets and sweaters. 
So thats why they sell them for so much because that person can make a good product profit off of them they can go for 750,000 the sweaters better keep my whole family warm lol.
The alpaca fiber is warmer than sheep's wool, and it is also hypoallergenic. Maybe that's why it's in high demand and so pricey. 
I dislike the fact of them shaving these animals to use for clothing I'm sorry it just hurts me imagine a bald Alpaca waling around the farm.
kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of Southern Peru, Western Bolivia, Ecuador, and Northern Chile at an altitude of to above sea level. Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, they were not bred to be working animals but were bred specifically for their fiber. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to sheep's wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America
Alpaca
The alpaca ("Vicugna pacos") is a species of South American camelid. It is similar to, and often confused with, the llama. However, alpacas are often noticeably smaller than llamas.

Alpacas and llamas are also closely related to the vicuña, which is believed to be the alpaca's wild ancestor, and to the guanaco. 
There are two breeds of alpaca: the Suri alpaca and the Huacaya alpaca.
Alpacas are
