What should you do if you don t want to be spat on by an alpaca?

You can hold a basin or let the alpaca's head spit on the side. Alpacas have a natural habit of spitting, so we should find ways to avoid spitting.

The first way is not to provoke it, the second way is to give it food, the third way is to stay away from it, and the fourth way is to tie it up.

I don't think you should stand in front of and behind it, and don't provoke it either, so you don't have to worry about being spit on by the alpaca.

Alpaca spitting is a physiological response to animal defense.

As for the impression of alpacas, many people feel that they are "cuties" with a docile personality and a soft and cute appearance. A cool hairstyle that makes people love it. In fact, "spitting" is a kind of warning for alpacas, a defensive posture.

For example, a female alpaca will spit on the opposite sex that she doesn't like to stay away from her. And when in danger, the alpaca will also spit on the enemy in an attempt to drive them away.

Alpaca has a gentle temperament, clever and humane, in addition to wild species, there are a considerable number of tamed breeds, which are widely used as pack tools by the Indians, suitable for captivity, and are one of the important livestock in South America. Alpaca's wool is longer than wool, shiny and elastic, making it a high-grade wool fabric. There are about 3 million animals in the world, more than 90% of which live in the highlands of Peru and Chile in South America, and the rest in Victoria and New South Wales in Australia.

Alpacas spit on people for the following reasons:

1. The reason why we often see alpacas spitting on people is because we are too intimate and too rough in the face of alpacas' wandering scum, which will cause alpacas' fear and uneasiness, and at this time, they will use spitting to warn humans to stay away from them.

2. The act of alpacas spitting on people may also be for health reasons. Sometimes alpacas will also spit out saliva to clean their mouth and digestive system, especially when eating forage, etc.

3. Alpacas also usually spit on their companions, because alpacas are social animals, and they will spit on each other when they are competing for food.

4. After the female alpaca is pregnant, she will spit it out in the face of the humans who come to disturb her.

5. When the alpaca is attacked, it will also attack the enemy by spitting to achieve the purpose of self-defense.

Alpaca IQ:

Alpaca IQ is equivalent to three or four years old in people, although it is not as good as dogs, but alpacas are also very humane, as a domestic pet is very well-behaved and gentle. Alpacas are not clingy when they are first raised, but they become very clingy after getting along with their owners for a long time. Alpacas have the ability to spit, but in front of their owners, alpacas rarely spit on them.
