August 2 is National Coloring Book Day and in celebration, Alpaca Owners Association, Inc. is offering free coloring pages on their website and a discount on their coloring books.
Coloring is popular not only for children, but also adults. According to the Mayo Clinic Health System, coloring can improve your health by promoting mindfulness, relieving stress, and embracing the imperfect.
Many people would say the same about alpacas!

About Alpacas
Alpacas, cousins to the llama, are beautiful, intelligent animals native to the Andean Mountain range of South America, particularly Peru, Bolivia, and Chile.
Today, the United States boasts two types of alpacas. Although almost physically identical, the two types of alpacas are distinguished by their fiber. The Huacaya (wa-Ki’-ah) is the more common of the two and has a fluffy, extremely fine coat. On the other hand, the Suri (SUR-ee) is rarer and has fiber that is silky and resembles pencil-locks.
Adult alpacas stand at approximately 36 inches at the withers and generally weigh between 150 and 200 pounds. They do not have horns, hooves, claws, or incisors. Alpacas are alert, intelligent, curious, and predictable. They are social animals that seek companionship and communicate most commonly by softly humming.
