Like a Chorizo

[00:00] Next up, we have another installment of the under Googles Coalson take it away
[00:07] So I have a under Google this week Cal and I were hanging out and
[00:14] She asked me what's the difference between
[00:19] Alama and an alpaca and
[00:23] I being a dick
[00:26] said
[00:28] They're different animals. What's the difference between a dog and a cat?
[00:39] She said and in response is one of the reasons I love her she said dogs have owners and cats have staff
[00:47] So she won that interaction nice out out Kyle. That's a win for the win
[00:54] But I don't know and and I wonder if we could briefly just go through the differences the alpaca and the the llama
[01:03] Can't you make stuff out of an alpaca?
[01:07] Like burgers, right
[01:13] I don't know we use something out of an alpaca. Yes, you definitely can there's you make thread
[01:18] Yeah, they shear them for their fur, but don't they do that with llamas, too
[01:23] I think they do that they do that with llamas. I did not know that
[01:28] Spit llama farm is definitely spit on you from like ten feet away, right? Do alpacas do that?
[01:35] Boy, I don't know. I've got a sneaking suspicion that they're the same thing
[01:39] They're not the same thing. They're different animals
[01:43] I'm gonna go with alpacas and llamas are closely related
[01:46] But alpacas live at altitude and llamas live in deserts city. So Joey you think it's like a mountain lion
[01:54] On mountain lions have in Puma like
[01:58] Thing not Puma Puma is not the right word, but don't mountain lions have an alternate name. Yeah, something like that desert line
[02:06] Yeah
[02:08] So you think it's that situation in certain parts of the world they call them llamas and other parts
[02:13] It's the same animal, but they call them alpaca. I think that might be right
[02:17] But when I pack animals for sure, right and they we use their fur and they they're domesticated
[02:24] Aren't they are there wild alpaca?
[02:27] Not anymore. Okay, so maybe there's maybe it's
[02:31] Llamas are wild llamas are wild though. Are they I mean they they can throw down
[02:40] You do not want to be in a bar fight with a llama I
[02:50] Mean this is opening up a Pandora's box of under Google's but what defines an animal as domesticated, right?
[02:59] Because for instance dogs are domesticated but cats are not somehow
[03:03] It's because they could go they could survive on their own in the wild. Oh, I think is the definition. Whereas a dog could not
[03:11] Don't they have wild packs of dogs?
[03:13] They're called feral dogs. Mm-hmm
[03:17] But there's also feral cats for that matter, right, right I
[03:22] Think I think probably what defines it is specifically bred for domestication at this point. You've gotcha. Okay, right, right
[03:29] I agree with that
[03:31] So are we saying that llamas are wild and then we breed alpacas for I'm going with alpacas live at a higher altitude
[03:39] Okay, I'm going yeah, I think that they live in different. That's what I'm going with
[03:43] You so Jason you you think they're lying. So but just live differently. No, I think they're different animals
[03:50] Okay, okay. I think they're very closely related but they that they live in different regions of the world
[03:55] like say I'm with Jay's alpacas live in
[03:59] Perot, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah South America llamas live in
[04:04] Australia or something
[04:11] Well, that's been clearly established
[04:15] We make burgers out of alpacas is according to Joey and llamas
[04:22] Yeah, more of a sausage let's let's let's get more
[04:26] I
[04:29] Don't I couldn't tell you a single thing that I know
[04:33] So alpacas when I I think of their I think of like they're you know
[04:39] They're they're fur being made into things and I also think what's the one that takes you through the mountains that you you
[04:44] That carries all your stuff. That's a llama. They're a llama. That's a camel. No, that's a dog, right?
[04:51] I could donkey gotcha. All right. Do you want what you want? What the what the internet says?
[05:01] I'm ready. I
[05:04] Want to know what side it is first because I've got a bunch of stuff on this, but I don't trust any of these sites
[05:10] Mmm. Yeah
[05:14] Okay, so I am on
[05:17] Pin heard calm. Oh open open heard
[05:21] What open heard open heard calm heard like a TRD. Yeah. Yeah, many people confuse the alpaca and the llama
[05:29] They're both camel lids from South America
[05:33] Hmm. Okay
[05:36] The easiest difference to spot is the ears
[05:38] Lamas have long banana shaped ears while alpacas have shorter spear shaped ears
[05:43] That's a lie. The easiest difference to spot is that alpacas are twice the size of
[05:48] right
[05:50] or no
[05:52] The other way the other way around llamas are okay size. Yes. So llamas can weigh as much as 400 pounds
[05:59] Wow, well pack those are roughly between 100 175 pounds
[06:07] Alpaca is
[06:09] Been bred for over 6,000 years as a luxury fiber producing animal
[06:13] Mmm, and the llama has been bred for the same amount of time as a pack carrying animal animal. See we were right
[06:20] We were right
[06:22] Good
[06:23] Which one of them lives in Peru? I think they're they're both
[06:27] Chilean it seems from that. Okay, but yeah, but I think you're right. They're from the same region
[06:34] So they and they're they're technically different species is what I'm getting right, but they're both from the
[06:40] What was it the phylum?
[06:42] Camelids, I don't know. I don't know your class genus
[06:46] genus glass
[06:48] King Philbert came over from
[06:51] Germany stone. Mm-hmm
[06:54] They're of the genus camelus and both alpacas and llamas are domesticated
[07:01] There you go. So alpacas are smaller and and you use them more for their
[07:07] Their fur to make them make things and llamas llamas are bigger and bigger. We just put it on their backs
[07:13] Yeah, they carry you just throw everything on them and they carry it for you
[07:18] Okay, but llamas and alpacas can crossbreed and the result is called a warrizo
[07:26] That may be the the best fun fact coming out of this one
[07:29] Crossing them is generally frowned upon by responsible and llama
[07:34] breeders
[07:37] It does not improve on any on either animals desirable characteristics. Oh, there's that
[07:43] so
[07:45] Wakaya, is that what you're saying? The name of that in between animal is what what did you call it?
[07:50] Warrizo or easy. Are I Z? Oh war Z? Oh
[07:55] Why why are you so why are you though? It's like a chorizo. It's like a chorizo
[08:00] Not really, why is everything sausage with you today?
