A few weeks ago, the alpacas were sheared at Moenchengladbach Zoo. This video gives some insight and background. 00:00 Welcome & Intro 00:10 Shearing of Schoko 01:00 Topic: Shear 02:01 Hoof Trimming & Clipping with Obama 03:08 Topic: Wool Processing 06:16 Gandalf is Shorn 07:16 Mr. Schulz's Turn 08:32 Impressions & Outro Schoko, Obama, Gandalf, and Mr. Schulz went to the hairdresser, to a pedicure, and to dental care - all in one! Combined with a lot of stroking and wellness, the four alpacas received a visit from the team of Alpaca America. The experienced alpaca keepers know exactly how to deal with the animals. Not only do they shear their own animals, but they also travel throughout the Netherlands and Germany because other keepers are happy to take advantage of their all-around package. Alpacas are a domesticated species of camel that is mainly bred for their wool. However, they are also shown in zoological gardens. It is in the best interests of the animals to clip them, otherwise, they would soon have too much wool. That's why this procedure is done once a year. In the video, you can see very well how relaxed the animals are and how relaxed they are about shearing. They are fixed - for their own safety - but have no problem with that at all. Obama even stays with the shearing of the other animals longer - so there can be no question of shyness or fear. At Moenchengladbach Zoo, the alpacas live together with other animal species on the large South American Meadow. » more about the installation:    • Tiergarten Mönchengladbach: Baby-MARAS 😍 a...   Most alpacas live in Peru: 80% of the world population of around 3.5 million animals. But the likable pets have also spread in Europe: more and more people want to keep alpacas. This is also due to the special characteristics of their wool. Alpaca wool is in demand and has exciting properties. In the video, we also learn how what is sheared becomes yarn that can be processed. This also happens at Moenchengladbach Zoo, among other places. ·················································································· ZOOS.MEDIA ► Homepage: http://zoos.media/ ► Never miss another episode: https://www.youtube.com/zoosmedia?sub... ► Something new every day:   / zoosmedia   ·················································································· ZOOS.LOCATION ► Website: https://www.tiergarten-moenchengladba... ► Zoo school: https://www.tiergarten-moenchengladba... ► Our playlist:    • Tiergarten Mönchengladbach - Videos | zoos...   ·················································································· ZOOS.FRIENDS ►   / dolphinariatruth-729987117081529   ► https://www.zootier-lexikon.org/ ► http://www.zoofoerderer.de/ ·················································································· IMPRESSUM ► http://zoos.media/impressum #alpacas #moenchengladbachzoo #alpacawool #zoos #animals #moenchengladbach #odenkirchenzoo #zoosmatter
