The Moche people of northern Peru often used alpaca images in their art. There are no known wild alpacas, and its closest living relative, the vicuÃ±a (also native to South America), are believed to be the wild ancestor of the alpaca. The alpaca is larger than the vicuÃ±a, but smaller than the other camelid species.
Highly prized for their luxurious coats, the alpaca has been considered a treasure of the Andes Mountains for over 6,000 years. Alpacas are New World camelids and look like small llamas or long-necked camels with no humps, especially when recently sheared. They have shaggy necks and camel-like faces with thick lips, pronounced noses, and long ears. Their large, expressive eyes seem to exhibit both wisdom and childlike curiousity.
