A three-week-old albino baby alpaca, distinguished by its striking blue eyes, is capturing hearts and drawing crowds at an exotic animal farm in the Serbian village of Supska. The young alpaca has quickly become the star attraction, delighting visitors who come to pet, photograph, and interact with the unusual creature.
Miroslav Stojanović, the farm's owner, returned to his native Serbia after 40 years in Switzerland to pursue his passion for raising exotic animals. His farm is now home to approximately 100 animals, including llamas, camels, and a diverse array of alpacas. Stojanović expresses a deep affection for all his animals, stating that he never feels he has too many, regardless of the number.
This is a baby alpaca, it has already become a star. Everyone likes to play with it, to take pictures. She is three weeks old, she likes to play, but now she is a little unfamiliar, because when people from outside come, who are not always here, she gets a little scared.
While all his alpacas are special to him, the albino baby has a particular charm. "This is a baby alpaca, it has already become a star. Everyone likes to play with it, to take pictures," Miroslav explains. He notes that the young alpaca, though playful, is still a bit timid around unfamiliar faces. "She is three weeks old, she likes to play, but now she is a little unfamiliar, because when people from outside come, who are not always here, she gets a little scared," he said.
Stojanović emphasizes that alpacas are accustomed to human interaction from a young age, which fosters their friendly and cuddly nature, especially with children. Despite their native South American habitat, Stojanović assures that Serbia's climate is also well-suited for the animals. The farm also boasts camels, chamois, llamas, and fallow deer, with Stojanović announcing future plans to open a zoo in the village.
When you start with one and fall in love with them, then you can have 101, it's never too many. Up to what number I will go, I really don't know.
