Wild Inside: The Alpaca

BBC World Service - Discovery, Wild Inside: The Alpaca

Ben Garrod and Jess French unravel the secrets to success of the alpaca.

Alpacas may have been domesticated for thousands of years but their native lands are the steep hostile mountains of South America where they continue to thrive far from the modern luxuries of animal husbandry. Prof Ben Garrod and Dr Jess French delve deep inside this hardy herbivore to unravel the anatomy and physiology that’s secured the success of this extraordinary member of the camelid family of camels, llamas and vicugna.
