Identifying animal in Micahel Jackson's documentary (w/ picture)
I saw it on "Michael Jackson Documentary - The Untold Story Of Neverland" made by Larry Nimmer. The documentary had a footage of this cute animal. I've never seen this donkey like thing.
What's the name of the animal?

Yup, llamas.
Nice coats. They're shaved like sheep and their wool used for yarn etc.

ChihuahuaMomma agrees: Which is weird that something like that wouldn't be mentioned in his DOCUMENTARY.
Media sensationalism twists stories to sell. We should make tabloid bonfire.
OMG, that's the Llamas? I hear llamas but never had an idea that that's it. That would be my another fave animal now along with bear, rabbit and dog.

How is it your favorite animal if you don't even know what they look like?

They are beautiful animals, very expensive to buy, very hard to keep, a lot of maintenance required.
This is definitely not a pet for a novice.
So love them, see them at the zoo but please don't buy one. Besides, most people don't have $5000 - $20,000 laying around.

Oh wow! Sure can't have them. I'll just settle having at the stuffed llamas. Hopefully I can fine a beannie baby of it. Ha ha ha

They look like Alpacas, they are a lot cuter than Llamas, and they don't spit as much :p

I think you're right Shazzy.
The first picture looks like an Alpaca, the second a Llama, the other two Alpacas.
Alpacas and Llamas look very similar, the main difference is the ears, Llamas ears are longer.

Gosh, I can't tell the difference which ear is longer. Upon looking to other links, seems like these animals are well groomed. Well, what to expect from Neverland?
So Shazzy, llamas spins a lot? How tall they can go?

Llamas are usually taller and a longer snout, alpacas have a shorter snout and are a little heftier (mainly because of the wool) and shorter. Love the pics they are sooo cute! Although I'd rather not have a pet that spits at me! :p

Those look like Alpacas? A llama costs about $500 (male-fixed.) They are instantly potty trained and you can make sweaters from the hair they shed. They are more intelligent than dogs too. Of course, never let them on the couch as babies. A four-hundred-pound adult llama is pretty hard to scoot out of the way.

They were shorn somewhat recently when they were filming. Their wool grows all year and they are shorn in late spring, like sheep, so their wool can be made into yarn and fabric.
