Machu Picchu Alpaca Magnet

1. Llama (Lama glama) is translated to 駱馬 in Chinese. 2. Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is translated to 羊駝 in Chinese. Alpacas are further divided into two types: - Suri alpacas: Their fiber is straight and long, with fine and smooth fleece. Suri alpaca fiber is 3 to 5 times superior in quality to Huacaya alpaca fiber. - Huacaya alpacas: These are the more common type, with fluffy fiber and curly fleece. 3. Vicuña (Vicugna vicugna) is a protected species. 4. Guanaco (or Huanaco) (Lama guanicoe) is a protected species. These four species primarily inhabit high-altitude regions! In fact, you can see alpacas all over the streets and alleys of Peru. Many young women wear traditional clothing and walk alpacas through the city. You'll also find alpacas on farms in some mountainous areas. In summary, alpacas are ubiquitous in Peru. My Peruvian boyfriend finds it amusing how much we adore alpacas, frantically taking pictures whenever we spot one! Perhaps to them, we visitors are the more curious sight!
