Star attraction: Two-week-old alpaca May
Meet two-week-old baby alpaca May - the latest arrival at Hounslow Urban Farm.
Youngsters have been flocking to see the new star attraction, who has been named after the month she was born.
May and her mum are both “doing fine” following the birth at the farm in Faggs Road, Feltham, on May 1.
Farm manager Mary Wilks said: “Alpacas have a docile nature and natural curiosity which makes then easy for handling. They are hardy and adapt well to our climate.
“May is a welcome additional to the farm and visitors have commented on how cute and cuddly she looks.”
Alpacas are closely related to the llama and originated in the Andes.
