Baby Alpaca Snuggles Up at Zoo Berlin
December 04, 2014
Little Alpaca Patrick at Zoo Berlin knows how to stay warm: playful jumping and kicking! And of course, some snuggling with mom, Olivia.
Alpacas, in the same family as camels and llamas, were domesticated in the Andes for use of their very dense, soft hair. Babies in the camelid family are called crias, from the Spanish word for baby, 'cría'.
