More About Alpacas

Alpacas are very gentle and intelligent animals. They have no upper teeth, so they do not bite. Their padded feet are like soft leather, so it doesn't hurt if an alpaca steps on a person's foot. The alpacas at Paca Peace Ranch are especially chosen to be extra gentle in their disposition.

These intelligent animals can learn by "clicker training" and a method called "TTEAM training." Both methods help an animal understand and do what is expected without using force.

Alpacas are good for the environment as their soft feet tend not to crush plants.

Alpacas communicate with a soft humming sound. It is very peaceful to be in a group of humming alpacas.

A person must touch an alpaca to believe how wonderful its fleece feels (kind of like an angora rabbit).
