What is the difference of a Ilama and an Alpaca?
Aluminum foil?? What? Is that some crazy urban myth? NO NO NO! Don't put aluminum foil on the pipesTwo bad things will happenFirst, copper and aluminum don't go well togetherYou will get corrosion on both the pipe and the aluminum foilSecond bad thing is that the pipes will still freeze'Try foam rubber insulation next timeYou'll LIKE thatHope this helps'')
Yes, but I don't know why you would do thatThe foil will get cold just like the spigot does.
You should have an interior valve for turning off the outside waterIf you have one, close it and then open the outside faucet to let any residual water out.
Many people are confused about the differences between alpacas and llamasThe photo below of an adult llama and an adult suri alpaca should clear up some of the confusionThe average llama is roughly twice the size of the average alpacaThere are differences in the body and head also, especially the shape of the earsWhile the alpaca has been carefully bred for over 6,000 years as a luxury fiber-producing animal, the llama was bred as a pack animalIts purpose has traditionally been to carry packs in mountainous terrainThe llama has coarse guard hair which protects it's fine, inner coat of fleece from the chafing of the pack on its backAlpacas do not have guard hair in the prime fleece of this blanket areaDespite its much larger size, the llama produces far less fleece per animal than the alpacaThe llama shown here has not been shorn; the alpaca shown here was shorn a few months earlierThe fleece of the alpaca is so dense that the animals could not remain healthy in the heat of the summer with their fleeces unshorn The smaller, more readily handled alpaca has straight ears and a much softer fiber devoid of guard hairs In addition to its packing use, the llama makes a very good guard animal for alpacas, sheep and other small livestockLlamas and alpacas can interbreed and produce live, fertile offspring, but this offspring would not be either as strong as a true llama nor have as lovely a fleece as a true alpaca, so this intermediate animal would not be very usefulNew research has confirmed that, while the alpaca was bred by the Incas out of a Vicuna ancestor, the llama was bred by the Incas from a Guanaco ancestorAll four of these animals are members of the camel family, but the rare and endangered Vicuna is famous as the animal with the finest fleece in the worldBEST ANSWER PLEASE!
