Field Notes

Description:

A new animal down on the farm. Llama shape but with a rounder head on a long neck and white. Sarah has goats, Caleb has pigeons and Micah has Alpacas.

Habitat:

Natural areas would likely be Peru and Bolivia, but they seem to be happy in Virginia.

Notes:

They do not carry burdens but are bred for their fine hair.
