Jim, think I have to blame you for not asking him permission in advance to be captured. Although I have some admiration for your courage, hope you're camera is not US now, lol.
A cool and very fine shot Jimbob.

Jim, I know my animals and this is NOT a duck!! It's gorgeous I know that and if it was preparing to spit then, as they say, discretion is the better part of valour and a hasty exit is acceptable.

Yes, it was going to spit its jaw at you. And then that great curly mop was going to fasten itself over your face. Oops, sorry I was remembering the film 'Zombie llamas'. This is a still from it right? Great shot JimBob.
I didn't think it looked much like a duck. You were right to head on out though! Do you think alpaca spit is sticky? Never mind. Great closeup of this little brat.
funny! Are they all punk rocks having a bad hair day? Good to have eye contact / interaction with the animal subject, although spitting would be too much interaction, I agree.
