Young Alpacas are adorable and made some interesting moments for the residents of that nursing home.

A family member once had alpacas for several years. They sheared them and sent the wool away to be cleaned
and made into yarn. The first year at Christmas time we all got mittens, scarves or insoles as gifts.
The wool is very soft and warm.
 
That was very nice, the residents certainly enjoyed
Napoleons visit.

I always thought that Alpacas were taller, I must be
mixing them up with Llamas.

Llamas ARE taller and actually have very different faces and ears. If you Google llama images,they actually show many alpacas. No wonder people get confused....These are llamas....
