FAQ
We have gathered the most popular questions from our park guests to ensure your visit is perfect and stress-free.
Alpaca fur is hypoallergenic, waterproof, and does not shed
On the farm, alpacas can live up to 20 years, but with proper care at home, they can live up to 25 years
Alpaca births often occur in the morning. This natural process is intended for the newborn to adapt to the temperature before night falls.
The word "alpaca" does not decline by number and case
Uakaiya is the most numerous species, resembling a plush teddy bear in appearance. The Suri alpaca breed has long, flowing fibers.
Ancestry of alpacas are wild vicuñas. Alpacas were domesticated about 6000 years ago by the Incas in Peru, mainly for their wool.
Alpaca shearing occurs once a year, removing up to 3-5 kg of fleece from one animal. Shearing is done moderately and always before summer, as alpacas can simply freeze in the heat.
Alpacas usually give birth to only one baby at a time; twins are very rare.
Alpacas, like other animals with thick fur, can experience heat stress in hot weather. Shearing helps them better withstand high temperatures.
Alpacas are social animals, living in herds. Llamas by nature are independent and can exist alone
Alpaca hair is excellent for making great "lawn mowers". Unlike other animals, they clip grass from the middle of the blade, rather than pulling out entire roots and eating plants whole. This results in neatly trimmed lawns and happy alpacas. It's a win-win situation!
Alpacas do not have hooves. They are part of the camelid group, with soft velvety growths on their foot pads that enable them to walk.
Alpacas' teeth grow throughout their lives
Alpacas "bleat" to communicate with each other in their language – they whine, snort, make clicks, burp, and squeak to express dissatisfaction and scream in case of danger
Alpacas are native to South America, primarily living in high-altitude regions of Peru, Bolivia, and Chile at elevations between 3500 and 5000 meters above sea level.
Alpaca fur has 24 natural shades
Suri alpacas are less common than Huacaya alpacas, comprising only about 5% of the global population. Their wool is more expensive due to its rarity and higher quality.
The first mention of alpacas dates back to 1553, in Seville de León's Chronicle. It even comes with an illustration
Alpaca eyes are mostly brown, and it is rare to see blue-eyed alpacas.
There is a term called "Alpaca Therapy" – this method involves interacting with alpacas to reduce stress, improve mood, and overall health of humans.
Alpacas and llamas belong to the camelid family (Camelidae). Both species, along with their ancestors - vicunas and guanacos, are part of the South American group of camels.
Almost all alpacas are white. There are about three million alpacas in the world, with 80% of them being white, which can be easily colored in other colors. Most of them live in Peru (about 3 million).
Alpaca mothers give birth to a baby after about 11 months of pregnancy
Alpacas are usually sheared in the spring before the heat sets in to maintain their comfort and ensure high-quality wool.
Lamas are much larger than alpacas, with their ears stretched in a banana shape, while alpacas have shorter, triangular ears like the point of a spear.
Ancient Peruvians believed that alpacas appeared on Earth together with the goddess of fertility, Pacamama, and have been faithful companions to humans ever since.
When alpacas' teeth grow very long, they need help trimming them. Alpacas' teeth continuously grow throughout their lives.
Alpacas do not have teeth on the upper jaw. They only have a lower set of teeth.
Alpacas communicate using body language, both with other alpacas and humans. The male may stretch its neck and stand sideways to assert its dominance and intimidate rivals. They also stomp their feet when irritated and raise their ears as a sign of alarm.
Alpacas, living in high-altitude regions of Peru, Bolivia, and Chile, are adapted to extremely cold temperatures during the night (down to -20 degrees Celsius) and mild daytime temperatures (up to 15 degrees Celsius).
The strongest and most aggressive male is usually the leader of the herd
Alpaca fur has all the properties of sheep's wool, but it is much lighter and warmer in weight.
The official record for the longest lifespan of an alpaca is 28 years
Thanks to their unique properties, Suri alpaca wool is often referred to as "Royal" and is used in premium-grade products.
Alpacas are very sensitive creatures and cannot tolerate loneliness, so they cannot be kept alone - always as a pair, otherwise from loneliness an alpaca may even die.
Alpacas have rectangular pupils to see 180 degrees
Alpacas are much cleaner than other household animals, and they naturally find a place for their bathroom and always go to the same spot.
In the past, alpacas Suru wool was used exclusively by royal families and nobility in clothing production
The domesticated form of llamas (Lama glama) originated from the wild species – guanacos (Lama guanicoe), and alpacas – from the wild vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna).
Alpaca wool is used to make warm and soft blankets, throws, clothing, and home accessories.
Newborn alpacas start standing on their legs within an hour of being born and begin to walk soon after that.
Alpaca shearing is a method for obtaining valuable wool, known for its strength, insulation, and hypoallergenic properties
Lamas are significantly larger than alpacas - they can reach heights of 1.8 meters and weigh up to 200 kg, while alpacas typically stand about 1 meter tall and weigh around 70 kg.
Alpaca therapy is a popular treatment for stress and anxiety. Spending time with these calm creatures can have a soothing effect on the human mind.
Alpacas are not pack animals like llamas. They are smaller and cannot carry heavy loads. They are raised for their wool and beauty :)
Alpacas trim grass with their lower teeth, rather than pulling it up by the roots like other herbivores.
Most alpacas communicate using sounds. The most common sound is a bleat. They make this noise for various reasons, including when they are upset, happy, or bored.
Alpaca wool plays a key role in their ability to survive in such conditions. It not only keeps them warm but also effectively wicks away moisture, preventing overheating
Alpacas are very friendly and love to communicate. They live on the wild even under human watchfulness. There are no feral alpacas - they are a domesticated animal. Humans have been taming them for over 6,000 years.
