An interesting fact about alpacas:  The species of alpaca became entirely almost extinct during the 16th century

It was mainly caused by a deadly disease brought to South America by the Spanish invaders, who nearly was the reason for wiping out about 98% of the population. So, the remaining animals started migrating to the higher grounds where they are found today, sharing the habitat with the llamas, mountain lions, flamingos, and spectacled bears. But, European dwellers rediscovered the species during the 19th century and found the animals of becoming of the best value. They valued the animals due to their wool, and whenever they got sick while they took care of them by helping them in a better way.
