Alpacas Are The Next Alpha Animal
LifeBuzz

There's always been a lot of hype around puppies, kittens, sloths, elephants and baby pigs...and don't get me wrong all those animals are adorable, but alpacas are the real MVP. If you haven't visited an alpaca farm or at least looked up videos of alpacas, you are seriously missing out.

They are like little mini giraffes...except way fuzzier and way more cuddly. They are about as low maintenance as a dog, and they even have the same loving personality as a dog. Alpacas can sense when someone is going through something tough in life such as a divorce or a death. They can sense when someone is disabled. With these senses, alpacas will flock to the person who is struggling and rest their necks on the person's shoulder. I can't think of anything more lovely than a hug from an alpaca when I'm upset.

Besides their sweet temperament, alpacas are so awkward it's hysterical. Google funniest alpaca videos and you'll laugh so hard you might pee.

But...in the meantime..check out these awesome alpaca pics!!


Here's a pic of your typical alpaca.

Now here's a picture of your typical alpaca...but shaved.

Awkwardly adorable. *sigh*

And when they walk in packs, they are the ultimate squad goals.

You think it can't get better than this...but it does..........................................

They smile for a selfie.

But not all of them are that photogenic.

They can even rock human hairstyles.


This is an alpaca mid-leap.

Probably the best police chase ever:


Alpacas don't play the rules and they don't give a damn.

That is an alpaca yawning. Did I mention they don't have teeth on the top?


This alpaca accepted me as her child because we have similar hair.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
