      Alpacas are the premier fiber‐producing animals in the Altiplano region of the Andes. They are also harvested for meat in South America, and the leather is used to make ropes. The pelts of crias are used to make fine rugs and wall hangings; they are sewn together in intricate patterns and designs. In North America, alpacas serve as companion animals and are used for breeding and showing.

Photo depicts llamas can be used as guard animals to protect smaller, more vulnerable species from predation.
