Have you ever seen anything cuter than a baby alpaca?
Originally from South America, these friendly, fluffy creatures were domesticated over 6000 years ago by the Incas. They can also be found in Peru, Chile and Bolivia, and there are alpaca farms all around the world.
Alpaca and llamas are very similar to look at, and the easiest way to tell them apart is by their ears, alpaca have pointed, spear shaped ears while llama have ears shaped more like bananas; also llamas are twice the size of their little alpaca pals.
A male alpaca is called a 'macho', a female alpaca is a 'hembra', and baby alpaca are known as 'cria'. There are two different breeds of alpaca.
Suri have super long locks for a coat, while the Huacaya (pronounced 'wuh-kai-ya') have a super dense, mega fluffy fleece. Alpaca wool or 'fleece' feels very soft and luxurious, but it is also incredibly hard wearing and durable.
Not only this, but it is also hypoallergenic as it doesn't contain lanolin like sheep's wool, it is pretty much a perfect material. Wool made from alpaca fleece is worn all around the world.
Did you know that alpaca can hum? Mother alpacas will hum to their young, they also create this musical purring sound to communicate with one another. To alert the herd to potential danger or when they feel spooked, alpaca will turn the humming up a notch and make a 'tooting' sound!
Alpaca is the kind of word that just works when it comes to puns, so whether you are looking for clever alpaca birthday puns for the perfect card, or just some funny alpaca puns to amuse your kids, we have got you covered!
For more laughs, take a look at these hilarious llama jokes and these funny sheep jokes.
