Llamas and alpacas are both members of the camelid family, often confused due to their similar appearance. A key difference is size: llamas are larger and primarily used as pack animals, while alpacas are smaller and valued for their soft fleece. Llamas also have longer faces and banana-shaped ears compared to the shorter faces and spear-shaped ears of alpacas. Have you ever seen a llama or alpaca up close? What sparked your curiosity about them?
