Because of their preference for using a dung pile for excreting bodily waste, some alpacas have been successfully house-trained. [23] Each vertical line shows how many stitches each size has. Stitch count given horizontally & you should only follow the pattern from the right vertical line of your size to the left vertical line corresponding to your size. As mentioned before, the Huacaya alpaca is the most common alpaca. Around 90% of the global alpaca population is made up of Huacaya alpacas. These alpacas are native to Peru, where they live in the Andes Mountains at an elevation of 4,000 feet above sea level. Genetic analysis shows a different picture of the origins of the alpaca. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA shows that most alpacas have guanaco mtDNA, and many also have vicuña mtDNA. But microsatellite data shows that alpaca DNA is much more similar to vicuña DNA than to guanaco DNA. This suggests that alpacas are descendants of the Vicugna vicugna, not of the Lama guanicoe. The discrepancy with mtDNA seems to be a result of the fact that mtDNA is only transmitted by the mother, and recent husbandry practices have caused hybridization between llamas (which primarily carry guanaco DNA) and alpacas. To the extent that many of today's domestic alpacas are the result of male alpacas bred to female llamas, this would explain the mtDNA consistent with guanacos. This situation has led to attempts to reclassify the alpaca as Vicugna pacos. [7] Breeds

Huacaya alpacas are popular amongst wool farmers for their spongey fleece that produces robust, durable wool. Their rounded and bulky frame helps them have a lot of wool since it takes quite a bit of hair to keep them warm at high elevations. Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work& crocheting it again! Suri alpacas are unmistakable with their long, lustrous coats. Unlike the Huacaya alpaca’s tightly wound hair, their hair drapes down their bodies. Suri alpacas have fewer overall hair fibers; having fewer hairs less than 35 micrometers in diameter is a breed standard for the Suri alpaca.

Alpacas develop dental hygiene problems which affect their eating and behavior. Warning signs include protracted chewing while eating, or food spilling out of their mouths. Poor body condition and sunken cheeks are also telltales of dental problems.

So, while they are considered genetically superior to the Huacaya alpaca, they are vastly outnumbered after being culled. a b Merrell, J.; Merrell, S. "Huacaya alpacas". Gateway Alpacas.

In 2001, the alpaca genus classification changed from Lama pacos to Vicugna pacos, following the presentation of a paper [7] on work by Miranda Kadwell et al. on alpaca DNA to the Royal Society showing the alpaca is descended from the vicuña, not the guanaco.

Alpacas are native to Peru, but can be found throughout the globe in captivity. [30] Peru currently has the largest alpaca population, with over half the world's animals. [31] The population declined drastically after the Spanish Conquistadors invaded the Andes mountains in 1532, after which 98% of the animals were destroyed. The Spanish also brought with them diseases that were fatal to alpacas.

Alpacas will chew their food in a figure eight motion, swallow the food, and then pass it into one of the stomach's chambers. The first and second chambers (called C1 and C2) are anaerobic fermentation chambers where the fermentation process begins. The alpaca will further absorb nutrients and water in the first part of the third chamber. The end of the third chamber (called C3) is where the stomach secretes acids to digest food and is the likely place where an alpaca will have ulcers if stressed.
