Are alpaca dangerous?

No. Alpaca do not bite or butt. I never recommend approaching any animal from behind, as it may startle them. My children and grand children have been around our alpaca since they were very young. One of my favorite pictures is of my 6-month-old grandson sleeping in the grass only a few feet from one of our new cria. If alpaca do not want to handle they will simply quietly move away as they are approached.
