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.
Remains of alpaca found at elevations closer to sea levels suggest that alpaca once had a wider geographical distribution and that the reduction of its range started with the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores and their introduced livestock. In the 1980s alpacas started to be exported to other countries for farming purposes.
