Alpaca's are very inquisitive characters, however they do have a "step away" reaction to you, until you become an honorary member of their herd or become accepted by them.

When you get close up to one, you'll notice their teeth, which occupy the bottom jaw only and meet the gum line along the top, allowing them to chew grass and hay. 

Their feet are  made up of two toes,  which have a toenail and pad. The toenails extend off the front of each toe and curve to point towards the ground. The toenails will need to be trimmed occasionally if the alpaca does not wear them down naturally.
