Alpacas escape enclosure and sneak off to Loch Ness to frolic in the water

A group of cheeky alpacas had to be rounded up after escaping their sanctuary to go for a dip in Loch Ness. The herd managed to break free of their pen on multiple occasions last Friday, August 5, as the owners of Loch Ness Alpacas in Dores, Inverness, frantically tried to find them.

While some of the group were out on an organised trek with paying animal lovers, other alpacas found a way to join them on the journey. Later in the day, the mischievous bunch had a nosey round the Balachladaich Bed and Breakfast, situated next to their pen on the banks of Loch Ness.

The water proved too enticing for the alpacas, who sneaked off to the beach again, forcing their owners to herd them up a hill and back home safely. However, another video shows one of the sneakier alpacas finally being caught on Monday as it enjoyed a cool down in the iconic loch.
