Story summary

On October 25, Islamabad zoo introduced a new "Coffee with Alpaca" attraction, where visitors can enjoy coffee while alpacas roam nearby in their enclosure. The zoo's general manager Muhammad Younas said ten imported South American alpacas are now the only herd of its kind in Pakistan, providing guests an unusual opportunity to see these animals up close. However, bringing alpacas to Islamabad has posed challenges due to the city's hot summers; the animals are native to cooler highlands and require air coolers installed around their enclosure for protection from the heat. The attraction allows families to interact with the alpacas by stroking and feeding them through a fence.
