Yes, but generally at each other, to establish dominance or settle disputes over who gets to eat and who has to wait their turn. Humans get spit on when caught in the crossfire of alpaca-on-alpaca spitting, which tends to be aimed in any and all directions, not just as the offending alpaca.
The spit itself is not the same thing as our spit--it's a green, foul smelling mix of whatever they've eaten recently, usually grass & hay.
they both spit (llamas spit more than alpacas). they are both my favorite animals
Alpacas, my dad had an alpaca when he was in Peru. Plus they don't spit as much as llamas do.
llamas
I prefer llamas!! :)
everyone likes their cute cuddly faces and bodies, do not stand to close, sometimes they will spit, just like their cousins Llamas!
Female alpacas and llamas are called "Hembra" and male alpacas or llamas are called "Macho". Alpacas and llamas look similar in the face but are different in size and fur.
