Alpacas & Children

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jill Bergman and we're here with our Alpacas today, and this Alpaca happens to be Carlata. And Carlata is particularly good with children, and we're going to show you here with little Chloe how good Carlata can be. Let's go inside with her. Can we go inside? Good, ok we'll take, come on baby girl. Ok, and this is Chloe and Chloe loves Carlata and Carlata loves Chloe. They are very very gentle animals, as you can see. She's absolutely loving having Chloe all over here. And she's very soft, so it's very comfortable for Chloe as well. Yeah, this couldn't be better. Oh there, she's going to lay down. That means she's really comfortable with Chloe. Alpacas only have teeth on the bottom and so they don't bite; they're very very very gentle. People always ask me, "Do they spit?" They may spit at each other if they're into each other's food or their space, but I think any animal, if it's treated right, won't be aggressive or defensive, and my Alpacas don't spit at all. They're just fun to be around and fun to have."
