Reading and watching news of the recovery in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and thinking about my father-in-law, who has a horse farm in Franklinton, LA, north of Lake Pontchartrain, I recalled llamas. Yes, llamas. Just as my wife’s dad raises thoroughbreds and quarter horses, people raise llamas in the States, for a variety of reasons.
It was then that I remembered reading about llamas last month, courtesy of Steve Farrar:
Llamas are strange looking animals with a warrior mentality. Llamas don’t appear to be afraid of anything. When they see something they don’t understand they put their head straight up and walk towards it. The coyotes couldn’t handle the Llama’s courage and finally left the sheep alone.
I had no idea llamas were that way. So, echoing Mr. Farrar, are you a llama?
