What is the behavior of an alpaca?
Generally alpacas are gentle animals. As herd animals, they should be kept in groups of at least two. They are elegant, social, inquisitive, and intelligent and are very observant. As animals of prey, they are nervous and cautious if they feel threatened. They may also make sharp noisy inhalations, scream, spit, or kick. We rarely see these behaviors on an alpaca farm. This is because we treat them gently and they feel safe in our presence. In fact, it is quite common for our alpacas to walk right up to us in the field.
