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.

Alpacas and Llamas are actually cameloids related to the camel.
Their ancestors originated in Nofth America and became extinct there but some migrated to Asia and South America where they evolved further.
They’re completely domesticated and respectively serve to produce wool and serve as beasts of burden.

I knew the jig was up when at post #3 John Cleese made his appearance! It might have survived the reference to Gene Wilder, but no thread can withstand an onslaught of Monty Python!
