Looks like an alpaca. Doesn't have Llama ears

[–]Grayphobia 15 points16 points ago

I was thinking that. Also, alpaca are bred for their wool.

[–]G00DLuck 22 points23 points ago

I refuse to believe you figured that out using shear memory.

[–]smokeydesperado 8 points9 points ago

Alpaca freshly made sandwich for You if you stop this pun thread now.

[–]ProjectFlashSociety 1 point2 points ago

Now wait a minute. There's still a lot of meat on that bone.

[–]buzzit292 0 points1 point ago

Maybe you should do an I LLAMA but you'll have to prove it.

[–]EmergencyShower 0 points1 point ago

You'll have to hoof it over to /r/alpaca

[–]mealsonweals 1 point2 points ago

Llamas are also fiber animals.

[–]iaskobviousquestions 2 points3 points ago

llamas can be used for Fiber animals but normaly they are not due to the higher quality of alpaca fiber vs that of llamas (as a whole not specific llamas)

[–]mealsonweals 0 points1 point ago

There are different types, or breeds, of llama. Some are good fiber producers while others have a larger build better suited for packing. Alpacas cannot pack very much weight and therefore, are bred primarily as fiber animals (and meat).

[–]H0neyBadger 1 point2 points ago

So are honeybadgers.

[–]DonCaliente 0 points1 point ago

I have a cushion made of alpaca wool. I feel guilty now.

[–]AdminWhore 0 points1 point ago

That's because the ears are folded back. They do that when they're pissed off. I know because Tina.

[–]42theanswer 0 points1 point ago

Agreed, it is an alpaca.

[–]valthegator 0 points1 point ago

You can tell the difference between llamas and alpacas by the wool.

I'll just leave this here for all of you.

[–]mealsonweals 1 point2 points ago

I don't see any alpaca ears either. I do agree that this is likely an alpaca, but I think so because of the shape of its face.

[–]heyfattybumbum 0 points1 point ago

[–]dannywarbucks11 1 point2 points ago

Man, that picture sums it up. I saw that llama and my first reaction was "Jesus Jean Marie Christ! The hell is th- oh, a shaved llama ... poor guy."

[–]TakethatBobaFett 0 points1 point ago

bows head in shameful reverence "Thats the last time we saw steve, so treated... " looks at audience "...how could he go on."

It's the llama king

[–]BICEPS 0 points1 point ago

That movie is awesome

[–]Razzamanazz 13 points14 points ago

There's still lots of fur left. Why stop there? Edit; Being serious Reddit. Is that left on purpose because it looks funny? For warmth? Is the hair above a certain point lower quality? Anyone know?

[–]deckmanx 13 points14 points ago

Fur on the head is not really usable for spinning plus the alpaca wouldn't really be down for a face shave. Fur from the barrel (basically the torso) is the top quality. From the upper legs and various other places is seconds. Everything else is mostly worthless.

[–]ramblingsofaskeptic 4 points5 points ago

The alpaca wouldn't really be down for a face shave.

I literally snorted at this. Have an upvote.

[–]Diblums 1 point2 points ago

Yes, the fiber is lower quality in those areas, but all the alpaca people I know shear everything but the top knot and tail. Kind of gets in the way (and looks totally bizarre) if you leave that much there.

[–]yvva 2 points3 points ago

I wonder if it's just a huge issue to shave the face.... It may serve as some kind of protection?

[–]valthegator 1 point2 points ago

I work at a petting zoo and the reason we don't shave the alpacas heads because its a pain in the ass. I'd rather have an alpaca looking like a lion than alpaca spit all over me. (Mind you alpaca spit is basically vomit.)

[–]nr1212 4 points5 points ago

Don't know why people are downvoting you, it's a legit question.

[–]henktheficus 2 points3 points ago

It's just the one. What baffles me is sometimes providing information on a question and getting downvoted without reply. Someone should do a psychological study to the motivation of downvoting.

[–]LostPuggle 6 points7 points ago

[–]khalestorm 5 points6 points ago

I don't think he's shaved so much as he has a disease that causes hairloss

[–]starmartyr 5 points6 points ago

IIRC the zoo had to shave the bears to get rid of a nasty mange infection. The hair grew back.

[–]LostPuggle 0 points1 point ago

i googled 'mange bear' so yeah

[–]TakethatBobaFett 0 points1 point ago

mama?

[–]pinnerboob 4 points5 points ago

If you gave it a top hat then it would look just like Abraham Lincoln.

[–]EricT59 4 points5 points ago

I am on a train, redditing on my phone. Now the whole carriage thinks I am a mentalist because of my giggling fit.

[–]ladashna 2 points3 points ago

CAAAAARRRLLLL, did you shave me in your sleep again? What is wrong with you?!

[–]lsleofman 0 points1 point ago

[–]RegularOwl 0 points1 point ago

Sometimes I wonder if redditors post pictures of alpacas and call them llamas just to piss everyone else off.

[–]blacklotus21 0 points1 point ago

Llama said, "Yo dawg, You said we weren't shooting a porno."
