Happy Pappy, the World’s Oldest Alpaca

Wisdom of the Ages/He’s seen it all

South Americans celebrated the birthday of the world’s oldest living alpaca, Happy Pappy, who turned 140 in alpaca years on October 6, 2009 in the mountainous remote village of Hucumbreneezenexochub. Still standing on all four legs and able to chew his cud, Happy Pappy had absolutely no explanation as to the reason for his lengthy longevity and did not appear to be aware of his surroundings. Geriatric experts have reasoned that “He’s just living life to the fullest.”

Many so-called scientists have speculated that Happy Pappy’s environment has put him in danger. He could have been hit by a car or wagon, but that has not happened.  He could have been crushed by a huge falling boulder, but that has not happened either.

Many things could have happened to Happy Pappy but they haven’t. Only one has and that is that he has lived. He’s a survivor.  A celebration of sorts organized by BARF is planned for the aging alpaca.
