"The Suri alpaca has unique fiber characteristics that distinguish the Suri from the rest of the Camelid family. The Suri’s long, separate, distinctive locks are comprised of twisted or flat fibers that drape down the sides of the Suri’s body. The fiber has a cool, slick hand.
Suris were first imported to the United States from Bolivia in 1991. Today, there are 30,446 Suri registered in the United States and 31,179 registered worldwide. They account for only about 1% of the total alpaca population worldwide and are so rare that there may be fewer of them than the vicuna, the wild ancestor of the alpaca.”
