  • Descrição: North American zoos in 1984 had the first opportunity in many years to obtain South American camelids after a long embargo on imports. The Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico, purchased two alpacas and one presumptive llama during this period. The llama, however, appeared to be phenotypically intermediate between a llama and an alpaca. In an attempt to ascertain the identity of this animal, it and purebred individuals of llama and alpaca were compared at 22 presumptive genic loci using starch‐gel electrophoresis. Genic differences between llama and alpaca suggest this animal to be a hybrid. If further tests prove consistent with the findings of this study, this technique will provide a simple assay using easily obtained blood for identifying llama and alpaca. The use of genetic management techniques such as this in zoos holds great potential for helping to preserve pure breeding lines of closely related interfertile animals.
