When I submitted the picture Image, I checked Wikipedia for a collective noun, and found "Inflation". Some time later, a perplexed viewer asked me why that was the collective noun, as he could not find it in any source. I rechecked Wiki, to find that such a collective noun for alpacas was no longer there. My theory is that someone may have misinterpreted the "inhalation" which alpacas do when threatened. "Alpacas warn the herd about intruders by making sharp, noisy inhalations that sound like a high pitched bray".
