I made this for the Zoo event, but I thought I would have one for a regular hangout! Come hang out and pet Alpacas!

Fun Facts:
They come from Peru and live in on the hills in higher elevations.
Despite that, Alpacas can thrive anywhere.
They are all over the world, North America, Australia, Europe, Asia...
Alpacas rarely spit unless they feel threatened!
They are not llamas, so please do not confuse them as such!
They are actually smaller than llamas.
Alpacas, llamas, camels, vicuña and guanaco are all of the same family (Camelids!)
There are no wild alpacas, they were bred as domestic animals for their fiber!
Their fiber is super soft and hypoallergenic!
They are herd animals and are happiest in groups!
They make different sounds, mostly humming to communicate. But they can also squak/honk out of their noses to alert the herd.
They graze on grass, hay and they will also eat special pellets. Some alpacas like treats like carrots, and I even saw a video of one who loved crab apples!
Alpacas are typically timid and some don't like to be touched (mine do at this petting zoo!)

There are two types of alpacas!
Huacaya (wah-kai-yuh) and they look like fluffy teddy bears!
Suri (sir-ree) and they look like shaggy dogs

Petting them:
Please do not pet their heads! Even though their heads are very fluffly, they prefer being pet on their necks or bodies.

Feeding them:
Please only feed them the supplied pellets and baby carrots!
