Pronking is a verb that describes the alpacas’ version of skipping. Most of you are familiar with PePe Le Pew doing this when he’s in love. It is like hopping around with all four feet hitting the ground at the same time. There is a kind of “Boing! Boing!” feeling to it. Alpacas do this when they are happy, most often around dusk. Cria (baby alpacas) are most likely to pronk. But it is really heartwarming to see the older (even very pregnant) alpacas pronking in the fields. Truly a joy to behold.
Enough talking -- let's see some pronking in action!
Here's a video of some pronking! Enjoy!
Mud season came early this year. This video shows the difference between running and pronking. The first group of Alpacas are running. Calypso (white) in the rear, is actually pronking! Enjoy!
