cria
A ''cria'' (pronounced ) is the name for a baby camelid such as a llama, alpaca, vicuña, or guanaco.〔Saunders Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary, 3 ed. © 2007 Elsevier, Inc.〕 It comes from the Spanish word cría, meaning "baby". Its false cognate in English, ''crya'' (pronounced ), was coined by British sailors who explored Chile in the 18th century and were quick to describe the camelids onomatopoeically according to the ''mwa'' sound they made, which was not unlike that of a human crying baby.〔''History of the New World Called America: Book II, Aboriginal America''. Payne, Edward John. Clarendon Press, 1899.〕
==Alpaca crias==
In alpacas, pregnancies last 11 to 12 months, and usually result in a single cria. Twins are rare, approximately , slightly rarer than the proportion of twins in human births. Twin cria births are not only rare, but dangerous. A twin birth can kill both the mother and crias. Male crias are taken out when the mother weans him. Female crias are weaned by the mother but not taken out.
