5 Reasons to fall in love with Alpacas<\/h2>\n

1. A genuine sweetness<\/h3>\n

Alpacas belong to the Camelid family, as well as Llamas. You can tell an alpaca from a llama only thanks to their size<\/strong> \u2013 alpacas are rather smaller.<\/strong> As for the rest, they stand out for their calm and docile nature<\/strong>, becoming a perfect \u2013 yet bizarre<\/em> \u2013 domestic animal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Pet fellows<\/h3>\n

These animals are making themselves known for their great support given in Pet Therapy.<\/strong> I mean, they can be considered real-life plush toys. Namely, you can feel the positive vibes<\/strong> coming from them. They give their very best not only in Pet Therapy but also in strolls<\/strong> with the little ones. Don\u2019t be scared, Alpacas are in need of a company as much as you. He can suffer from loneliness!<\/p>\n

3. Wool finer than Cashmere<\/h3>\n

Their tenderness<\/strong> must not be mistaken for weakness. As a matter of fact, they come from the highest peaks in Peru<\/strong>. In these cold places, their wool r<\/strong>eally works as a shield against low temperatures. Despite being so strong, their wool is still one of the softest and brightest<\/strong> in the world. Furthermore, it is lanolin-free<\/strong> and therefore hypoallergic!<\/p>\n

4. Walking on Clouds<\/h3>\n

It might be because of their habitat<\/strong>, on high rock-like mountains, or maybe because of their big-hearted nature<\/strong>, Alpacas have no hooves<\/strong>! That is, their clogs are covered by a kind of \u201ccushion<\/em>\u201d. On the one hand, this lets them be excellent equilibrists in the unspoiled nature; on the other hand, you do not have to fear anything in their company. The danger is not their cup of tea at all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. A history of glory among Incas<\/h3>\n

Lately, we are rediscovering the great value of Alpacas<\/strong>. Nevertheless, they really had a past of glory<\/strong> among Inca people! Besides being deeply adored, their woolen was so precious that only the Emperor and its family<\/strong> could wear clothes made of it. What a rediscovery!<\/p>\n
