I just got back from NC and visited my bf's family. His father has 3 llamas: Chief, Duke, and Smackers. A couple interesting facts about llamas, they have no upper teeth and their top lip is split in 2 to help grab grass and hay into their mouths. Summers are hot in North Carolina, and these guys are native to cool South American highlands.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/twinkle63718/IMG_2558.jpg?t=1281580026 (javascript:void(0);)
To keep cool, their coat is trimmed short and they have 2 fans in their barn. (Pictured on the right below.) I think it’s cute how their heads barely pop over the fence. The llamas are about 5′ tall and weigh about 350 lbs. They also have 2 toes that need regular trimming. (Trimming “station” pictured on the left side of the picture below.)

Taking them for a walk down the dirt road.
