this post is all ramyiadarsini indira elangovan's fault.

that and the fact that im actually bored enough to read up on llamas.

and so i present to you, the difference between an ALPACA and a GUANACO.

this is a guanaco.

and this is an alpaca.

both are llamas that live in south america. both have been domesticated for the past dunno how many thousands of years. and they even have hair of the same thickness! (16-18 micrometers in diameter)

but they are different! for one, alpacas are distinctively hairier, as can be seen. it makes them loads cuter. to me at least. sorta like a hairy dog. and for another, alpacas are the mascots for world scholars cup this year, while guanacos are well... not cool enough. (ahahaha i just used "cool" to describe world scholars cup.)

anws, all the best to the singapore teams going to korea. :D may the alpaca be with you!
