Usually, the animals that make up the animal kingdom have no problem living peacefully side by side. Completely content with the cards they have been dealt in life, and living without the need to prove anything to anyone. However, when you remove those animals from their natural habitat and grow them in captivity, things take a strange turn. They become competitive, vying for attention and likes on social media, just like the rest of us. And that is how we have found ourselves here at one of the strangest side quests one can take in the animal kingdom, the epic showdown between cute cows and awwdorable alpacas.

It is a choice that not many of us had thought of, nor is it one that serves a commercial purpose, after all you are not going to drink alpaca milk and you are unlikely to want to wear a cow fur jacket. But what they want is to prove that they are the best at stealing the hearts of hoomanity. So let's put them to the test.

You might already be aware of the cuddly side of cows and how they are like giant dogs. But what you might not have had the privilege of experiencing is their fine flirting ability, as demonstrated here. Choosing a cow is not only about choosing comfort over comedy. It is also about finding true love.

Now if you were not already aware, alpacas are some of the most comedy driven critters in the world. Some mistake their spitting for an offensive action, when if fact it is just their attempt to practice or actually use a spit take. Sure it might come at the expense of them thinking you are so wholly hideous that your mere facial visage deserves a spit take, but you cannot cancel out their comedy.
