The term "mini llama" is often used casually to refer to Alpaca. Alpacas are closely related to llamas but are smaller and have different fleece.
Here's a breakdown:
* Llama: Larger, with long, coarse fleece. Primarily used for packing and as guard animals.
* Alpaca: Smaller, with fine, soft fleece. Primarily raised for their fiber.
So, the next time you hear "mini llama," it's likely they're talking about an Alpaca!
