A new baby alpaca with white skin, red lips and double eyelids was recently born at the Wuhan Zoo in Hubei Province. But its parents' hair is a low-key dark brown.
In the temporary cage of Wuhan Zoo, the reporter saw this little alpaca that was just one month old. It has slender limbs, a pink mouth, and even the edges of its eyes are pink. It also has dark eyes, which are set off by the snow-white curly hair all over its body. It looks very cute.
The breeder told reporters that the baby alpaca was born on May 27 this year. When I was born, I also experienced some small twists and turns.
It turned out that the floor of the alpaca cage was natural mud. It had rained the day before and the ground was slippery. It was difficult for the newborn baby alpaca to stand up. After 10 minutes, the baby alpaca still had not stood up.
In order to help the little alpacas stand up as quickly as possible, the breeders covered the ground with meadows. Only thirty minutes later, the little alpaca stood up on its own due to the "energy of sucking milk".
can stand up smoothly, which proves that the little alpaca has passed the first hurdle in its life and successfully survived. On the day of birth, the baby alpaca successfully received breast milk.
The alpaca mother is very protective of her calf and keeps an eye on her calf. The alpaca father is next door and often comes over to gather with the family.
After observation, the little alpaca is now very healthy and can eat, drink and sleep. At present, I still mainly breastfeed, and occasionally I follow my mother's example and eat some grass. But when it comes to weaning, it will probably take a year.
The breeder said that the little guy also has a black and white alpaca sister. The newborn alpaca baby is snow white, its sister is black and white, but both parents have brown hair. The skin colors of the family are all different.
Alpacas are known to have one of the most colorful natural coats of any animal. Like other mammals, alpaca coat color is primarily determined by genetic factors. Only when both male and female brown alpacas have white genes in their bodies, can they give birth to white offspring, but the chances of brown and white are different.
The white hair of this little alpaca is probably because the previous generation of the alpaca father or alpaca mother was a white alpaca. Currently, this little alpaca has not been named yet. Please help me find a good name for this little alpaca, .
