The Alpaca is rather uncommon breed here in Australia, and has seen a recently surge in popularity and an increase in numbers. Their coat like the Peruvian grows over the face but is curly and should also have two rosette's on the rump. The coat is very dense and heavy - having a texture very similar to wool. Due to this reason, Alpaca's that are housed outside I would highly recommend that their coat be heavily trimmed back in the warmer months.
