Answer:
Llama and Alpaca species
Explanation:
Wool
- Sheep, goats, yaks, and several other creatures produce wool. These animals that produce wool have hair on their bodies because it keeps them warm and wool is made from these hairy fibers.
- Two different types of fibers, the coarse beard hair and the fine, soft under hair near to the skin, make up the fleece on the sheep's hairy skin.
- Only fine under hair is present in some sheep breeds. To produce sheep with just soft under hair, their parents were specifically chosen. Selective breeding refers to the practice of choosing parents to produce offspring with unique characteristics, such as sheep with soft under hair.
Wool-Producing Animals
- Despite being the most readily available type of wool on the market, wool is not just found in sheep's fleece.
- In Tibet and Ladakh, yak wool is widely used, and mountainous areas like Jammu and Kashmir are home to angora goats, which produce angora wool.
- Goat hair is also used to produce wool. The velvety underfur of Kashmiri goats is fashioned into luxurious shawls known as Pashmina shawls.
- Wool can also be made from camels' body hair (fur). South American animals like llamas and alpacas produce wool as well.
