... is something these wooly beasts will never enjoy. These are my first attempt at something a bit more organic for use in my scenery. They and their brethren (and sisteren) will be making an appearance in Stark's Twin Oaks.
 
Cool Bill! Tell me if you get close enough, you'll be able to hear them bleating.... They're great!

Thanks, guys. They look a lot like sheep, don't they? They're actually alpacas, which it turns out are more closely related to camels. Go figure.
 
Alpacas, and llamas, are some world class spitters...they can spit with accuracy for something like 20 feet or so. Cute animals...smelly....but the fact that they are loogie snipers puts them way down on my list of preferred animals.

spotslope,

Your alpacas look great...I knew exactly what they were when I saw the screen shot.

Bolivia is the largest "grower" of Alpacas in the world. Out of the large and high up in the sky farms come some of the best Alpaca wool in the world. The fur of these champion "spitters" is highly coveted in many countries of Europe......Big business for the Indian Presidente!!!
 
They are used quite often now in Australia too - one or two are put with the sheep, and will protect the heard against foxes! Apparently, they will find and kill a fox or a dog! We visited an Alpaca farm recently and they said that most of their stock sales are now for sheep farmers!
 
They look great Bill.

First thing that came to my mind was the end of 'The Holy Graille' by Monty Python.
