This beauty was purchased on the road somewhere between Puno, Perú, and La Paz, Bolivia, but before arriving in Bolivia, therefore we can call it unequivocally: a Peruvian Alpaquita.
While I was on a tourist stop purchasing this very alpaquita I had the opportunity to feed and pet a live version and let me tell you, it was territorial as could be. You cannot just march up to a baby and not expect to be considered a threat by its mother. It scared the crap out of me. Who even knows the damage an alpaquita can do?
Hay que tener mucho cuidado cuando alimentas a las alpaquitas. Tal vez sea tu última vez. (?)

Taunting the mother of the alpaca behind me, who charged at me. |
