herd llamas and alpacas
Alpacas can and often do live with llamas in captivity. Many people keep at least one llama in with their alpacas to protect them from & warn them of predators, as llamas are more inclined to fight off predators and protect their herd than alpacas.
Yes, most alpacas will be just fine in a pasture with other herbivores (horses, cattle, sheep, goats). However, if you have two or more alpacas, you'll likely find they form a herd by themselves and do not associate much with the other animals in the pasture.
No, alpacas are herd animals and must be kept with at least one other alpaca, preferably at least two other alpacas, in order to be healthy & happy. If kept alone, they can develop behavior problems and go a bit crazy.
Alpacas mainly kick and spit if they are upset or scared. They also let out a high pitched scream to warn the rest of the herd. They may team up and trample a smaller predator.
