The quiet of early morning streets in one downtown Tokyo neighbourhood is broken by joggers, parents with children in strollers - and a pair of alpacas, out for their daily constitutional walk.
在東京市中心某社區街頭，慢跑者、推嬰兒車帶小孩出門的父母，以及一對為了健康而例行性出門散步的羊駝，打破了一大早的寧靜。
On leads held by their keepers, Akane and Satsuki trot down streets past shops and temples, crop grass in a pocket park and share crosswalks with the occasional pedestrian before heading back to their home at an indoor petting zoo, "Alpaca Land".
在主人帶領下，茜和皋月沿著街道小跑，經過商店和寺廟，在小公園吃草，偶爾和行人一起通過斑馬線，接著回到牠們位於一間室內寵物動物園「羊駝樂園」的家。
After a round of brushing and combing, the woolly natives of South America are ready for their day: spending time with visitors who pay 1,000 yen for 30 minutes petting them, hugging them and burying faces in their fleece.
在經過一輪刷洗和梳整後，這對毛茸茸的南美洲原生種準備開啟一天：陪伴支付1000日圓的客人30分鐘，讓客人照料、擁抱，以及把臉埋進牠們的羊毛中。
"The alpaca was so fluffy that when I put my face on its back, its fleece covered half of my face and it was so cute," said visitor Nana Ide.（Reuters）
客人井手奈奈（音譯）說：「羊駝毛皮蓬鬆，當我把臉貼在牠的背上時，牠的毛會蓋住我半張臉，超可愛的。」（路透）
