> HI Nella,
>   A llama is about twice the size of an alpaca and alot more agressive.
> Some people use them for gard animals, for alpacas and sheep or goats.
> Their fleece is also not a desireable as an alpacas.
>   Alpacas weigh from 150-200 lbs, are much more gentle, about 1/2 the size
> and eat alot less. The fleece is very desireable. Easier to care for.
> After being with alpacas, llamas now seem so big.  But llamas can pull or
> carry packs and go hiking with you as pack animals. So that's good about
> them.
