“We’ll set off on our trek soon, but first there are three different kinds of spit you can look out for.” I’m sitting in an open barn, clutching a mug of tea, watching Sarah, the co-owner of Brackenfield Alpacas give a rousing talk on all things camelid. Benjamin, a chocolate brown alpaca with a mischievous glint in his eye, is on a leash by her side.
“The first kind of spit is a light ‘prrrrrt’,” Sarah demonstrated, “which just means ‘go away’. The next kind is a food spit, which means ‘get off my food’. The third spit is horrible and means ‘I really hate you’.” Green and sticky, this spit is hawked up stomach phlegm. “Don’t worry about this though, I’ve only seen it done once at a child that was being utterly obnoxious to the alpaca. Frankly, they deserved it.”
