Field Notes

Description:

This is a captured one. They are helt for whool, but not very often in our region. I did a little research and afterwards it´s quite sure, it´s an alpaca, for these are the only "llamas" helt in our region.

Habitat:

Seen at a paddock, there are 2 Alpacas, 1 donkey, a little pony and some horses.

Did a little research and as I thought, it´s an Alpaca. Thanks bayucca for guess.

I´m not sure, I remember Llamas are larger (it was about 1 meter high)

I also think it is an Alpaca. But to be 100% sure, you need a clear shot of the ears and the back/tail.

i think you're in the truth, its an alpaca or a llama.
