Alpaca, Bullyland 2004 Wild Animals, walk around

At last ! I got him ! YES !!    

I was beginning to believe I would never ever get this model, but today he arrived    

A bit of wear on his nose only adds to the charm, I think  













When we moved to this farm, I dreamt about having alpacas, but they are so incredibly expensive, - if you can get them in Denmark at all. So I had to give it up

BUT ! Now I have a whole little flock  
Safaris to the left, Schleich to the right  :


A few words about the species alpaca, I have stolen it from * Wikipedia *

... An alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid. It resembles a small llama in appearance.

... Alpacas have been domesticated for thousands of years. The Moche people of northern Peru often used alpaca images in their art.[4] There are no known wild alpacas, though its closest living relative, the vicuña (also native to South America), are believed to be the wild ancestor of the alpaca.[5] The alpaca is larger than the vicuña, but smaller than the other camelid species.

... Alpacas use a communal dung pile, where they do not graze. This behaviour tends to limit the spread of internal parasites. Generally, males have much tidier, and fewer dung piles than females, which tend to stand in a line and all go at once. One female approaches the dung pile and begins to urinate and / or defecate, and the rest of the herd often follows.

Because of their preference for using a dung pile, some alpacas have been successfully house-trained.

A great addition Susanne          Big congratulationc

Congratulations
Tha't an beautiful animal

So beautiful newcomer, lovely alpaca congratulations Susanne and thank you also for additional info, it's very interesting They are smart animals :)

Very nice topic and figure. I only don't know if I like alpaca's rituals.
Curiously today I was in a Bullyland shop and enjoyed a lot their trakehner horses, I don't know if horse experts like them but I do. Bullyland is a great brand!

Hi Susanne,

the seller is happy, that he found a new family.

Thankyoudear friends

  I think humans have the same rituals...just think about rock festivals and such    

And, yes, Bullyland has some fabulous models ( sometimes )
