What an alpaca’s height measures
Drawn at the same 2 ft 8 in: Gray wolf, Oryx and Great Dane. Same drawing, different listings: an alpaca’s and an oryx’s figures are each the lower end of its range, a Great Dane’s the top of its male range.
This is a published species or breed reference, not a prediction for an individual animal. Where a range is supplied, both ends appear with the reading. Shoulder height and head height are kept apart when comparing animals.
