The alpaca (also known as pako) is a domesticated camel breed bred for its wool and meat. Alpaca wool is rarely used in Europe. Due to the calm and peaceful nature of alpacas as pets and companion animals, they are often used in animal-assisted therapy. There are two types of alpaca. They differ in the structure of their fiber: The Huacaya alpaca has a fine, evenly curled fiber and several guard hairs, which should be as fine as possible. The Suri alpaca, on the other hand, has no curl in its fiber; its hair forms curly, straight strands that hang down from the animal. This often makes Suri alpacas appear slimmer than Huacaya alpacas.
