Fucking Alpacas bro, they are the softest furriest mother fuckers around. Llamas have long banana-shaped ears while alpacas have straight ears and they are smaller. It was just the alpaca lips. Their faces: Llamas have a longer face; an alpaca’s face is a bit more blunt, giving them a “smooshed in” look. Alpacas are smaller, around 90 cm (35 inches) high at the shoulder and between 55 and 65 kg (121 to 143 pounds). I got spit on by a farm animal and thought it was the end of the world. Two old ladies showed us how they sheared the alpaca, what their personalities are like, and then put a leash on one and let us walk it around while patting it. A good place to start with the difference between alpacas and llamas is with the ears. Their faces are also a bit different with llamas having a longer face, while an alpaca's face looks smushed. The most-noticeable difference between the two animals is their sizes. Llamas are the biggest lamoid at about 120 cm (47 inches) at the shoulder and about 113 kg (250 pounds). Can you tell the main differences between a llama and an alpaca? So llamas are going to be a lot bigger than their cousins. At the shoulder, an average alpaca stands between 34 and 36 inches, while a llama generally ranges between 42 and 46 inches. On a whim some friends and I decided to visit an Alpaca farm where they cohabitate alpaca and sheep. The result was just a bunch of misshapen llamas playing football.
