Have you worked out how alpacas sit down?

This is the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I want to talk about how alpacas sit and why. Alpacas love to sit, which is called cushing. They gather their legs underneath them and look very comfortable. Often they will be chewing the cud while cushed. It is a bit like having a sit-down for a cup of tea – just alpaca style. Sometimes they do it to opt out – we all feel like that sometimes, I know. So next time you feel the need, try to spend some time with some alpacas and chill. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it. You can contact me by email - steve@alpacatribe.com - or leave me a voicemail from your browser.
