The antisocial lives of alpacas – ABC Radio National

Posted on April 18, 2010April 18, 2024 by Nicky Redl

Broadcast on ABC Radio National’s Bush Telegraph in 2010.

Now to some pretty antisocial activities – spitting. Queensland cane farmer Josie Bugeja says that alpacas are spitting specialists, and the strategy helps protect other stock against wild dogs and areal predators like hawks.

Josie breeds alpacas, and she told Nicky Redl that they are the perfect bodyguard for stock.
