Avalon Farm Alpacas
Lama Lovers Links
Alpacas and llamas, along with their wild cousins the vicuna and guanaco, are referred to collectively as New World camelids and are members of the camel family (Camelidae). The two domesticated species, the alpaca and the llama, are commonly believed to be members of the genus Lama, decendents of the wild guanaco. Some experts argue, however, that the alpaca is more likely to be decended from the wild vicuna rather than the guanaco, and is, therefore, a member of the genus Vicugna. Because of these relationships, what we know about one of these marvelous animals is often applicable to the other(s).
