Alpacas in the Snow, February 2010, Hagerstown, MD

[coloranddetails]

simply adorable! We own two alpaca boys, and we too had to dig them a racetrack in the 18 inches of snow that we got this year. Isn't it funny how they are a bit timid at first to step into the snow? I learned that although they originate in the high Andes that they actually live primarily on two plateaus where the wind wipes out much of the deep snow...maybe that's why deep snow is a bit intimidating to them...but you just gotta luv 'em!!! Enjoy.
