Glacier

You would fall in love with him!

This young male alpaca is named "Glacier."  He is owned by my friend Frieda who specializes in extremely fine fibers.  Glacier was born deaf(his light blue eyes are indicative of this recessive trait), but has a very good life with his herd.  The other alpacas seem to understand his disability and take care of him.  They let him eat out of whatever bowl he wants...they just seem to understand that he needs to be looked after.  Did you know that alpacas can learn Sign Language?
