Alpaca Week has officially launched in Australia with none-other-than a bunch of Alpacas making random appearances across town.

First a heard of the cool creatures were spotted making their way through the streets of Melbourne, then 30 alpacas popped up in a pen at Parliament House in Canberra.

Alpaca Week, starting on May 2, is for no reason other than to promote the beloved animals, which have family ties to camels.

Alpaca breeder Angela Betheras told the Australian Associated Press she has a herd of 70 alpacas on her property in Victoria. "I just fell in love and they are so intelligent and I think sheep are just a bit silly," Betheras said.

Yeah, sheep have nothing on these guys.

And if those photos aren't enough to get your fix sorted, alpaca farms (where all the alpacas live) will be open around Australia for Alpaca Week your continued joy.
