How do they relate to Llamas?
Alpacas, llamas, vicunas and guanacos are all members of the South American Camelid (or camel) family. Alpacas are smaller than llamas and have their very special fleece which is of a higher quality to that produced by all the other camelids (except vicuñas, which are not farmed). Being camelids they have a very soft tread which ensures that they do little damage to fields even in the wettest weather.
