What is this thing?!

I saw the picture on another board and I cant figure out what it is.

1. Looks like something out of a Dr. Suess book

2. Alpaca, looks like.

ETA: pic of baby alpaca.

[Droopy]

3. Wow! They are real

I thought the pic in the OP was just a clever photoshop.

4. I think the animal in the OP has its legs tucked under

and its ears thrown back. Pretty cute animal. (I guess it could also be a llama, but I don't really know the difference except that llamasare a little bigger than alpaca.) :hi:

5. It's just a human-caterpillar hybrid

IIRC, Bush warned us of these things and we didn't listen, probably cuz he was wrong about everything else. This particular speciman appears to be Irish.

8. A llama?

9. I agree with Heidi, looks like a young alpaca

Several people in this area raise llamas so I see them quite often as I drive by their farms. They are considerably bigger and have longer/bigger ears than alpacas. Llamas sit like that too, all you see is this big legless looking body with their big long neck and head towering above it.

10. Prairie Caterpillar

Aren't they cute?

11. Definitely an alpaca. A neighbor used to raise them.

Cute animals, but they can really spit (and it is a foul spit at that)!

12. A llama paratrooper after his chute failed to open

:-)




Looks like an "apaca". I saw Mike Rowe shave one on "Dirty Jobs". I remember two things... their fur makes a great yard and they can spit like a motherfucker.

13. Not sure what it is yet but I'm sure I'm going to eat it.

Yum yum.

Spoo - the other blue meat.
