Alpacas can be said to be the representative of funny animals that have become popular on the Internet in recent years. Their cute and silly faces have made people famous by giving them various text descriptions. Some people asked how much an alpaca costs and wanted to buy one to raise at home.
Due to the restrictions on exports in the place of origin, the market supply is relatively tight. There are more than 3 million alpacas in Peru, accounting for 70% to 80% of the world's total. Chile only allows the export of 300 alpacas each year. A few producing areas such as Australia and the United States can only supply a small amount to the international market each year. Since landing in China, the cute appearance of alpacas is very pleasing. In addition, its personality is very gentle, which is very popular among young people today. It can be bought in some pet shops. According to news reports, a pet shop in Xiamen once sold it for 80,000 yuan. Don’t be fooled by the high price. In fact, this price is less than one-fifth of the original price. The initial price was about 60,000 US dollars, but 80,000 yuan is equivalent to the price of an economy car. Therefore, for the working class, there are many visitors but few buyers. It’s just that some customers in Wenzhou buy more.
Alpaca is relatively expensive in China. It is less than 10,000 yuan abroad, 50,000 yuan in Shanxi, 35,000 yuan in Xinjiang, and 40,000 yuan in Beijing. Alpacas can be said to be the representative of funny animals that have become popular on the Internet in the past two years. Their cute and silly faces have made people famous by giving them various text introductions. According to pet experts, alpacas are generally recommended to be kept in a large yard with a lawn. They eat grass, concentrated feed and carrots. The average daily food cost is only about 2 yuan, but the amount of water they drink is very large. They enter the mature estrus period at around 2 years old, give birth once a year, and the average age can reach 20-25 years old. They accompany their owners longer than pet cats and dogs, but buyers also need to be mentally prepared, because although alpacas are easy to keep and their daily "food expenses" are even lower than those of cats and dogs, they will spit when they are angry.
Alpacas: animals of the order Artiodactylus and the family Camelidae, weighing 55-65 kg and with a head and body length of 1200-2250 mm. They look a bit like sheep and generally live on plateaus at an altitude of 4,000 meters. Each group consists of more than ten or dozens of alpacas, led by a strong male camel. They feed on alpine thorny plants. During the estrus season, the competition for mates is very fierce, and only one adult male camel can exist in each group. The gestation period of female alpacas is 11.5 months, and each litter has one baby. They can breed in spring and summer.
Alpacas are gentle, smart and humane. In addition to wild species, there are also a considerable number of domesticated species. They are widely used as pack animals by Indians and are suitable for captivity. They are one of the important livestock in South America. Alpaca hair is longer than wool, shiny and elastic, and can be made into high-quality wool fabrics. There are about 3 million alpacas in the world, about 90% of which live on the plateaus of Peru and Chile in South America, and the rest are distributed in Victoria and New South Wales in Australia.
