Llamas and Alpacas are very similar, but they are indeed different creatures. Llamas are larger and their face is different from an Alpaca. Where a llama is large enough to be used for a pack animal, or to pull a cart with 1-2 people riding in it, an alpaca would have a hard time , since they are not much bigger than a large size dog.
Both have beautiful wool, which can be woven into hats, sweaters, and other wearables.
Alpacas are more expensive than a llama is, for some reason, and I enjoyed my llamas, but have never owned an alpaca.
Now that i live inside of a larger city, I am not apt to ever have the chance to have one, or another llama.
