I am Alpaca. Renowned for my luxuriously soft wool, I exist today only as a domestic animal. I am descended from the closely related Vicuña, a wild mammal of the high Andes mountains. The people of the Andes domesticated my ancestors thousands of years ago, breeding them selectively for their fine fleece. I am notorious for my habit of spitting when agitated. This usually happens during disputes between us Alpacas, although humans can occasionally become targets.
