Baby alpaca born at Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen
It's a first for the facility - who are giving local kids the chance to name him.
Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen has a new arrival to it's Pets' Corner - a baby alpaca, also known as a crias.
The male was born to his Mum Betty last Tuesday, who has been at Pets' Corner for almost two years.
Primary age visitors to the facility are being offered the chance to name the baby Alpaca.
In Pets’ Corner, the outdoor areas and the meerkat section are open so people can view the alpacas along with the new addition, however the adjoining aquarium/reptile building is closed as it is too small to let people physically distance.
Aberdeen City Council operational delivery convener Councillor John Wheeler said: “The baby alpaca is extremely cute and it’s great to see how well he’s doing with his mum since he was born last week.
“I’m sure he will be a very popular addition to all the animals we have at Pets’ Corner and it’s fantastic people will be able to see him in person at the facility.
“The meerkats Dee and Don were named by visitors so we look forward to seeing the great suggestions our primary school aged youngsters will come up with.”
