“A dog, a rabbit, a sheep, a camel or a goat …”
An alpaca came to Banba-Hiroba open space, the center of Utsunomiya city, from Nasu Animal Kingdom with dogs, rabbits and other animals yesterday.
I had nothing special to do yesterday so I went to Banba-Hiroba and took some pictures.
Isn’t it cute?
It is said that alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights at an altitude of around 4,000 m in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Chile.
Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items including blankets, sweaters, hats and gloves.
Nasu Animal Kingdom in Tochigi is at far lower an altitude than that of those countries.
Alpacas attract maney tourists in Japan these days thanks to their increasing popularity by TV broadcasting.
