Alpaca is a sheep-like mammal that is more common in South America. Alpacas are social animals, and they prefer to live in a family system. The family of an individual alpaca consists of a female partner, young ones, and a dominant alpha male. For informing one another about the assault of predators or intruders, alpacas make high-pitched sounds resembling the sound of bray. Alpacas become aggressive when someone tries to invade their territory or intends to harm their family members. Otherwise, alpacas are loving and charming mammals that remain peacefully with one another.

For defending their home range or territory, alpacas make a unique pose called broadside, during which male members stand sideways and pull their ears back. It is reported that alpacas have exceptional communication skills, and they are highly territorial mammals. Whenever alpaca is angry, depressed, or nervous, he communicates with other members by spitting. Spit of alpacas contains little amount of saliva and abundant air molecules. Alpacas spit in several circumstances. For instance, if a female alpaca do not like male alpaca, she will let everyone know about it by spitting on that male.

Most members of alpacas spit when they intend to warn other species to stay away from their food or partner. Usage of communal dung piles limits the spread of many diseases by limiting the transmission of internal parasites. It is reported that male alpacas are more conscious about hygiene in comparison to female alpacas. Dung piles of alpaca are widely used as biofertilizers. Male members of alpaca are reportedly more aggressive than female members, and it is witnessed that male alpaca exterminate weaker alpaca to show how powerful he is and that territory belongs to him alone. Apart from being aggressive, male alpacas are protective of their female partners and young ones, and they become outrageous when someone tries to mess with their partners or young ones.
