alpacas
Soft-fleeced South Americans
Alpacas is the plural of alpaca, a domesticated South American mammal related to the llama, raised primarily for its soft, luxurious fleece.
Smaller and gentler than llamas, alpacas have become popular on hobby farms: The alpacas need shearing before summer.
Their fiber is prized for warmth without weight.
