No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you — that's an alpaca walking around in an optician's office.

The fluffy mammal walked into an optician's office in Hennebont, France after authorities believe it escaped from a nearby farm, SWNS reports.

As the alpaca walked past the store, the automatic doors opened and the curious camelid decided to venture in for a closer look. Photographer Pierre-yves Nicolas spotted the furry creature and said it appeared to be at ease, checking itself out in the mirrors.

"The alpaca walked down the street, past my studio and stopped in front of the opticians' shop," the 58-year-old photographer said.

"He stayed there for half an hour. He was quiet and he was not afraid."

"He was intrigued by the mirrors," Nicolas added.

Native to South America, alpacas are closely related to llamas, though they are often significantly smaller.

Sadly, though, this particular alpaca did not have time to try on the latest wears before it was captured
by the police and taken back to its rightful owner.

Optician: We don’t get many alpacas in here.
Alpaca: At these prices, I don’t see how you get any.
Cheetah: Well, I guess the specs are on me.

Beautiful animal. Looks like a long necked lamb, colored like an Irish Setter. I’m glad he was recaptured without any harm.

>>>It sounds like the beginning of a joke told by Jay Leno:
“So, this fluffy little Alpaca walks into the office of French Eye Doctor. And the next thing you know...”
