What about Alpaca babies?

An alpaca baby is called a cria (cree-ah). They weigh about 15-20 pounds at birth. They generally have little problems delivering, and often deliver during the day. The gestation period is approximately 11.5 months long, and rebreeding can take place within weeks of the cria’s birth. Twins are extremely rare. Female alpacas can first be bred between 12 -18 months old. Males mature at a slower rate, and are not usually fertile until at least 18 months, and some take as long as 3 years. Females have a reproductive life of 15 – 20 years.
