We see commercials for those cuties all the time.

There was something on the Animal Planet about them and all their cousins. It seems some of them have very fine "fur" and can bring in $500+ per pound. But I was surprised that the most common ones were only $5 per pound (or less).

I'm suspect (and I could be way off base on this) that the commercialization of these animals is more about breeding profit then the fur profit. btw, I'm sure they don't call it "fur"... I think it's some fancier term...LOL

I've always wondered if they spit like camels... anyone know?

I love that look they have with the funky head hair. A bit "Beatle-ish"...
