I found this question because I was just bitten by an alpaca and needed 13 stitches and wondered if this happens to others.
I have two alpacas, and one was tangled up in some electric fence braid. I was trying to untangle one and the other firmly clamped on my forearm. He was protecting his herd. This is the first aggressive act in the two years I've owned them.
So, I'd say, no, alpacas do not bite. Well, sometimes, rarely.
Also, the faqs say that alpacas do not have top teeth, just a hard palette. My deep laceration tells me that upper teeth or not, something in the top of it's mouth can slice human flesh.
I concur with every other site on alpacas though. They are docile, friendly, curious, manageable, and otherwise non-threatening.
