Although the alpaca is not a sheep, but the high popularity can definitely make its "sheep and sheep proud", the New Year Sanqia Garden to see them the most, of course, is the star effect. With the ability to accurately predict the results of european championship football matches, alpaca fat became the emperor of prediction in one fell swoop, bringing super high fame.

Big fat career and love double harvest. Tourists expressed Their New Year's wishes, "I hope that the big fat can give birth to a noble son and give birth to a small alpaca." ”

Alpaca cousins joined in the fun to pay homage to the citizens

"The one who lives next door, strong, tall, and looks like a camel and a horse, is a camel. And the alpaca was short, chubby, with a thick and long neck, looking like a big sheep. "The moose and the alpaca appear together in the Sanqia Garden to celebrate the New Year. Although the names of the two are similar, they are not the same animal. Alpacas are somewhat sheep-like in shape, with a tail longer than a moose, and most camels can't see their tails. Adult alpacas are generally 90 cm to 100 cm tall on the shoulders, and the moose is another domesticated South American camel, which is more like the traditional camel, but has no hump, the hair on the body is shorter than the alpaca, but the head is larger than the alpaca, and the shoulder height is about 1.2 meters. And the distribution and life habits are not the same. The moose can be said to be the cousin of the alpaca.

The reporter counted that there were 11 members of the camel family, five males and six females, but they were kept in five circles. It turned out that these five rams often fought fierce duels for their partners, attacking each other "crazy", and violent blood fights kept happening. "The moose is grumpy and can only live in four of the males in separate pens."

The alpaca personality is gentle and friendly, easy to get along with. There is a big-eared sheep that sneaks out of the pen and eats and drinks with the alpacas every day, but the "big fat" does not mind at all, and often eats together in the same trough.
