Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Dromedary camels have many adaptations that allow them to thrive in the hot, arid deserts of northern Africa and the Middle East. One of those adaptations is sweating (or lack thereof). Like people, camels do sweat when they get too hot and need to cool down. However, because they live in area that generally lack water, they only sweat when temperatures climb over 50°C (120°F).

Sometimes, winter is to be tolerated. Sometimes, it is worth celebrating!
(seriously, this camel looks SO happy!)

Today's Zooly Art Challenge prompt is the llama! I've never actually drawn a llama before that I can remember, but other than the muzzle I'm pretty happy with this one! I also hadn't realized that llamas (and alpacas) are entirely domesticated at this point, with their wild ancestor being the guanaco. We might not even have llamas and their other South American kin if it hadn't been for the Great American Interchange, when several North American species (including camelids) migrated to South America, and a number of southern species headed north. All the North American camelids died out thousands of years ago, but the guanacos and vicuñas survived to become the eventual source of their domesticated kin. Ink pen and Copic markers.

Well there you go lovely followers. I think we’ve effectively solved the llama-alpaca debate: the animals in the video are definitely alpacas! Fun fact -- llamas and alpacas look so similar because they’re both members of the Camelidae family (like camels). Thank you anon for the alpaca info !!! 👍
