The Huacaya alpaca is a breed of alpaca (Vicugna pacos) that has a unique appearance and fiber quality.[1] This breed is the most popular alpaca breed with population numbers reaching 2.8 million in Peru alone.[2] They share biological components with other species in the Camelidae family. Their digestive tract, nutrition requirements, and herd behavior mirror that of all camelids. They also survive amidst similar predation, poison, and disease threats that endanger all camelids alike.
