This behavior is only seen in the first weeks of an alpaca's life. By licking one another's mouths, Starr (mom) is transferring good bacteria from her gut to her baby named Lager, who is born without it. This transferring of microbes to the baby is necessary so that he can digest hay and pasture which will be the bulk of his diet when he is weaned.
