I got a microscope for Christmas so that I can do regular coproscopies to keep an eye on any internal parasite problems my alpacas and llamas might be developing. Today I've used it to compare alpaca and llama hair. The top photo shows a llama hair at 50x magnification. It's one of Bernard's hairs.
In comparison, here are hairs from Seamus, an alpaca, at the same magnification. As you can see, they are much finer. I wouldn't have thought there would be so much difference. Fascinating!
