Kuka Mama "Coca"

Llama Squad - Newest Member

Coca, named after Kuka Mama-the Peruvian Goddess of Health and Joy, is an alpaca who joined the Llama Squad in 2023.

She is a great addition to the squad and enables us to show the differences between llamas and alpacas. She was chosen for her calm personality and ability to be a future Alpaca Mama. She has a fluffy coat that you can't resist and you just want to put your hands on! We look forward to bringing her to upcoming events in 2024.
