Attempting to Stand

The first attempts to stand are largely unsuccessful. But, the new cria knows that food is close by and it wants some.

Cria Attempting to Stand

11:45 AM - This baby, still wet, is making a valiant effort to stand up. This attempt didn't quite work as she fell unceromoniously on her face. It won't be long now before she gets her legs under her.

 
Alpaca Sales

"Yet kindness sat upon her aspect bland,
The tame alpaca stood and licked her hand;
She brought him gathered moss, and loved to deck
With flowery twine his tall and stately neck,
Whilst he with silent gratitude replies,
And bends to her caress his large blue eyes..."
