We’re back with another episode of Alpacademy! 🦙🎓 This time, we’re diving into how alpacas communicate—because even without words, they’ve got a lot to say. From soft hums to dramatic stares, these herd animals have their own secret language. Sebastian’s field notes: ✔️ Baby alpacas (crias) learn by listening to their moms and the herd 👶👂 ✔️ Humming = their go-to “hey, you good?”—used when curious, calm, or concerned 💬 ✔️ Ears up = interested. Ears back = please respect my space 🙃 ✔️ Spitting is a last resort—and usually saved for alpaca-to-alpaca drama 💦 Alpacas are deeply social animals—and once you learn their cues, it’s like unlocking a whole new language 📸: @exploroads
