Pronk! Pronk!

In: alpaca facts

2 Apr 2009

We all like to express happiness. Animals do too: dogs wag their tails, cats purr, dolphins go in for exuberant acrobatics and alpacas… well, alpacas pronk.

View the video above to see this in action. Alpacas have a tendancy to pronk at dusk (don’t we all), and it’s their way of showing excitement and happiness. It’s a joy to behold. Personally I can’t watch them doing this and not mentally go  ‘BOINGY BOINGY BOING BOING’ in my head, but maybe that’s just me.

Be sure to visit AlpacaFarmGirl’s post which has some great pronking pics.

BOING!
