Though this is normally how Mengwa looks, away from the mountains her coat actually wears her down and makes it very warm, so she gets a shave in preparation for the travel, as an alpaca only needs a shear once a year.

Please peel your sheeps and pookas.

It’s not uncommon for alpaca and llama taurs to help shear each other, often with razors or straight edges because they don’t have clippers, but asking those not from the mountains to do so can get kind of awkward for the second party.
