羊驼 alpaca (Lama alpacos);
羊驼（学名：Vicugna pacos；西班牙文：Alpaca、英文：Alpaca）：为偶蹄目、骆驼科的动物，体重55-65千克，头体长度1200-2250毫米。外形有点像绵羊，
一般栖息于海拔4000米的高原。每群十余只或数十只，由1只健壮的雄驼率领。以高山棘刺植物为食。发情季节争夺配偶十分激烈，每群中仅容1只成年雄驼存在。雌性羊驼妊娠期11.5个月，每胎1仔。春夏两季皆能繁殖。
羊驼性情温驯，伶俐而通人性，除野生种外，还有相当数量的驯良种，被印第安人广泛地用作驮役工具，适于圈养，是南美洲重要的畜类之一。羊驼的毛比羊毛长，
光亮而富有弹性，可制成高级的毛织物。世界现有约300万只左右，约90%以上生活在南美洲的秘鲁及智利的高原上，其余分布于澳大利亚的维多利亚州以及新南威尔士州。
羊驼最早起源地在北美洲，原产于南美国家秘鲁、玻利维亚、智利，祖先为原始蹄类动物。是原驼和小羊驼的杂交的后代，被人工驯养超过6000年。
它们是安地斯文明的整体的一部分，也是其文明的生活方式的体现，羊驼被用于提供食物、燃料、衣物和运输畜力。在西班牙占领印加后，许多羊驼、大羊驼和印第安人一样死亡了。
但在不合适人类居住条件的阿尔蒂普拉诺高原（Altiplano），这个物种幸存了下来。

The Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid. It resembles a small llama in superficial appearance.Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of Ecuador, southern Peru, northern Bolivia, and northern Chile at an altitude of 3,500 m (11,483 ft) to 5,000 m (16,404 ft) meters above sea-level, throughout the year.Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, alpacas were not bred to be beasts of burden but were bred specifically for their fiber. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, much as sheep's wool is. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru, 12 as classified in Australia and 16 as classified in the United States. Alpacas and llamas differ in that alpacas have straight ears and llamas have banana-shaped ears. Aside from these differences, llamas are on average 1-2 feet taller and proportionally bigger than alpacas.In the textile industry, "alpaca" primarily refers to the hair of Peruvian alpacas, but more broadly it refers to a style of fabric originally made from alpaca hair but now often made from similar fibers, such as mohair, Icelandic sheep wool, or even high-quality English wool. In trade, distinctions are made between alpacas and the several styles of mohair and luster.
