紐西蘭竟然有個＂全國草泥馬日＂?!約好一起去看神獸吧!

大概是2009年，魔獸世界貼吧突然冒出來一個名為「草泥馬」的動物，網友奉其為「神獸」。「草泥馬」作為一個玩笑，在一周內迅速在網上傳播開來。大量出現在QQ群的聊天內容中，並出現許多惡搞圖片。

它的原型是羊駝。紐西蘭很多農場飼養了羊駝，羊駝的價格不是很便宜，哪怕是小小的一隻幼崽也要將近一千紐西蘭元。羊駝生性溫順、羞澀又有一點好奇心，所以膽小的他們通常不會靠在路邊等待人們的觀賞。

你聽說過紐西蘭的「全國羊駝日（National Alpaca Day）」嗎？今年5月8日，紐西蘭各地的羊駝飼養者們，將向民眾開放他們的農牧場，並推廣羊駝產品。

有興趣去與這些可愛的小萌獸們親密接觸的童鞋，可不要錯過這次好機會！還能順便買點兒與羊駝相關的各類商品！
