Jim A, How would you like to have to sweep goat and Llama poop out of this exhibit each day, before the advent of high pressure water hoses and nozzles?

A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

I'll pass. I'm sure others remember trying to clean llama and goat exhibits that had a new layer of gravel or chat -- get the bad stuff and keep the good, a professional challenge. The only good thing is that llamas tend to defecate in one area; you don't have to peruse the whole exhibit.
These look like they might be vicuna. I've only seen them a few times in zoos in the US.
Jim,
"Professional challenge?" I suggest exercise in futility. I thought Vicuna also, but Llamas was printed on the top.
Why are Vicuna not exhibited much in American Zoos?

Peru does not allow export of vicuna to protect the vicuna fibre industry
