Yes, llama-alpaca hybrids, commonly known as huarizos, are generally sterile. While both llamas and alpacas belong to the same genus (Lama) and can interbreed, the resulting hybrids typically have an odd number of chromosomes, which prevents them from producing viable gametes. As a result, huarizos cannot reproduce.
