A:  Anywhere from 14-16!

Q:  What is a baby alpaca called?

A:  A cria.

Fun Fact:  Alpacas will generally have their babies before 3pm, in the warmest time of the day & the warmest season.  In the cool mountain region of South America, where alpacas are native, this offers the highest chance for survival.
