Alpacas

In today's episode, Zack has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... Alpacas! Our cutest topic yet . (Sorry, Evel Knievel!) You might think of alpacas as llamas' adorable little cousins, but they are actually descended from another delightful furball - the vicuña! As cute as this episode got at times, it wasn't without its disgusting bits as well. Have you ever heard about how llamas spit? Well, alpacas do too, and Zack almost barfed over the specifics of it. We learn where alpacas are from, whether or not they like dogs (they don't!!), and how much it might cost to own one. Interesting retirement plan from AARP - an alpaca farm. Can't say we recommend it, but can say that that's a real AARP suggestion. Head to South America with us and learn about your new favorite animals, alpacas!

Highlights include:

- Who hates dogs? Alpacas do!

- Vicuñas - dare I say, an even cuter alpaca?

- Llama + sour mouth = don't look it up!
