Llama types

Llamas can be divided into Ccara and Tampuli
i.e short- and long-haired or "Classic" and "woolly".
Ccara
can  be sub-divided into Ccara and Curaca





Ccara -  short woolled,
the llama most typically seen in the UK, hence the term "classic".

 

 

Curaca - the medium woolled llama and the next most typical in the UK.

Tampuli
can be sub-divided into Tapada and Lanuda

 

 

Tapada - heavy woolled and relatively unusual in the UK

 

Lanuda-
 heavy woolled with fringes on the ears and head and abundant wool down the legs. The rarest type of llama in the UK and, along with the Tapada,  a speciality of Roseland Lamas.
