Adams County 4-H Llama & Alpaca Projects<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Participants in this 4-H program will learn about llama or alpaca care and management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Denver Zoo, llamas <\/strong>are closely related to camels but do not have humps. They have long necks and legs, large ears, short tails, and coarse, shaggy fur ranging in color from white to reddish-brown to black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike their larger relatives, alpacas<\/strong> are about half the size of llamas and come in two breed types: huacaya and suri, according to the Alpaca Owners Association. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
