Photograph posted by Chinga with the description: Alpacas or Llamas? All captured at a local wildlife park. The difference between Llamas and Alpacas is their size and the type of coat each of them has. Llamas grow a coarse wool coat, whereas an Alpaca's hair is longer and finer. I spent 5 months in Peru and Bolivia in the 80's, and I still don't know the difference. Thank you to Rich (Woodini254), and Sue (Sue118), who kindly awarded the animal set yesterday. Isabel :D:D ....
