The gestation period is, on average, 11.5 months, and usually results in a single offspring, or cria. Twins are rare, occurring about once per 1000 deliveries. [26] Cria are generally between 15 and 19 pounds, and are standing 30 to 90 minutes after birth. [27] After a female gives birth, she is generally receptive to breeding again after about two weeks. Crias may be weaned through human intervention at about six months old and 60 pounds, but many breeders prefer to allow the female to decide when to wean her offspring; they can be weaned earlier or later depending on their size and emotional maturity. Each vertical line shows how many stitches each size has. Stitch count given horizontally & you should only follow the pattern from the right vertical line of your size to the left vertical line corresponding to your size. European conquest forced the animals to move higher into the mountains, [ how?] which remained there permanently. Although alpacas had almost been wiped out completely, they were rediscovered sometime during the 19th century by Europeans. After finding uses for them, the animals became important to societies during the industrial revolution.

Most of the alpacas you see will be Huacaya alpacas, as they make up at least 90% of the global alpaca population. However, if you ever get the chance to pet a Suri alpaca, you should take it since their coats are so soft and luxurious! Unfortunately, alpacas still need a helping hand from humans to help them recover from the eradication attempt during the Spanish Inquisition. Alpacas can be found throughout most of South America. [30] They typically live in temperate conditions in the mountains with high altitudes.

The Ugly Bag is the first high-functioning alternative to everything else out there in decades,” says John Gage, Co-founder of Appalachian Gear Company. “It’s a no-brainer for anyone looking for a more sustainable option than down, which can fail as soon as it gets wet and relies on loft to actually keep you warm. In addition, the shell we’re using is much less prone to abrasive breakdown than other synthetics out there, meaning it’s significantly less likely to contribute to microplastic pollution. It’s not the prettiest option, but we think people care more about performance and sustainability than vanity when it comes to their outdoor gear.” The same vertical lines are made on the front of the sweater, but should be counted from the middle, where the first two lines closes to the middle is for size XS, the two second lines is for size S and so on.
