A. They can spit, but usually spit at one another if aggravated. They rarely spit on people who know how to behave around them.

Alpacas will occasionally spit at each other. This sometimes happens at feeding times, and other times when dominance is being asserted. Alpacas, unlike llamas, do not spit at people, though if people get in between, they might get hit!

Alpacas will occasionally spit at each other. This is usually exhibited during feeding and other times when dominance is being asserted. This does not injure the other alpacas and no member of the herd seems to take the spitting too seriously.

They will spit on one another if sufficiently provoked, but they rarely spit on people. A less than 100% scientific way to determine if a female alpaca is already pregnant is to introduce an amorous herd sire. If she is pregnant, she will spit him off big-time. A sailor’s foul weather gear may not be enough.
