Alpacas originate from South America. They have no top teeth, furry and padded two-toed hooves, and are related to camels and llamas. Alpacas communicate dislike by spitting and have communal dung piles. They have three-chambered stomachs and provide humans with meat, wool for clothing, and are sometimes kept as pets. Male alpacas tend to be friendlier than females.

18. Do Alpaca’s have funny “toilet habits”?
YES!
Alpacas use a communal dung pile, where they do not graze. This behaviour tends to limit the spread of
internal parasites.
Generally, males have much tidier, and fewer dung piles than females, which tend to
stand in a line and all go at once. One female approaches the dung pile and begins to urinate and/or
defecate, and the rest of the herd often follows.
Because of their preference for using a dung pile, some alpacas have been successfully house-
trained.
