WHAT are these animals?

Definately Allpacas.

They are breed for wool and sheared like a sheep. Unlike sheepswool though the alpaca wool is actually worth something.

 

I go with alpacas too. We had Llamas across the road from us when we lived in Derbyshire and they are much taller than the ones in yoyr photos.

 

With roders kind permission, I am now putting my llamas in with his alpacas.


There was a small herd of them across the road from our hotel in Bodensdorf in the Austrian Alps.










We think that this one needs to see a dentist! -




There was even an albino one -




- look at his ice-blue eye!




I spoke to the owner who told me that they had helped him to recover from his illnesses (heart and drink). John, what do you say about this, have you heard of it, too?

Anyway, he swore they helped, just like dolphins help people, mainly children, or horses. He said he used to have horses but sold them to get the llamas, they were obviously the better choice! He had another herd further up the mountain, but we didn't go to see them.

 

Oh, lovely, Sis.

They are so much bigger than the Alpacas but they are all such gorgeous, gentle creatures. The fourth one down appears to be giving a kiss and just love that blue eye on the last one. Aren't they so proud looking?

Thank you for those. xx

 

I have heard of them being used as effectively 'pat' animals. They are very calm animals except they do, apparently, have one thing in common with their cousins the camel. They do spit occasionally. But I'm a great believer in pat cats and dogs, beat drugs anytime, no side effects. So why not a pat llama? I'd adopt one but they like packs. :D

 

Here you go John,I should go for the posh ones �£4000 each.
