The alpaca enclosure has also undergone some changes. Originally, there was a fence around it, allowing visitors to see the alpacas moving around the outer field directly from outside the fence, but they had to go through the shed to get inside.
This design was mainly because they were worried about what to do if an alpaca became angry and kicked someone during close contact, especially since there are quite a few children who visit the zoo.
So, those who wanted to feed or take photos with the alpacas could do so inside the shed, separated by the fence. When visiting the outer field, they couldn't be so close and had to maintain a distance to enjoy the view.
But now, after several months of adaptation, the alpacas see many visitors every day and have gradually become accustomed to their presence.
The animal keepers also have a better grasp of the alpacas' personalities, knowing that they are generally docile and won't attack people, at most spitting at them when they are annoyed.
