What sounds do alpacas make?
Alpacas are known as calm and quiet animals, but they do communicate with each other through a range of sounds. These sounds provide insight into their mood, social relationships and overall well-being. By listening carefully, you can learn to understand alpacas better.
Alarm call in case of danger
The alarm call is loud, sharp and intended to warn the entire herd. One alpaca can initiate this sound, after which the others become immediately alert. This behaviour shows how closely alpacas watch out for one another and work together to detect potential threats quickly.
