From South America to South Tyrol






llamas in Martelltal (Martell Valley)

These "strange" animals were imported a few years ago and are used for touristic purposes... like trekking, hiking with children and similar activities...

To me those "strange animals" always look so imperious!

It's alpacas. And some of it may have very funny hairstyles from the nature.

The top shot is so beautifully composed - the very cute llamas with the fence, fields and flowers - love it!

They must feel right at home in the mountainous area.

They may be strange to South Tyrol but they look like they've made themselves right at home.

They are a little strange looking Karl, but what a lovely place they have found themselves in.

I agree, they look "strange", but cute and funny too:)
