Surprise Baby Llama...
One weekend in September last year, we tracked down a surprise
baby Llama at Kirkcudbright Wildlife Park. The keepers had no idea the mother llama was going to have a baby
(though when you look at llamas, you can see it might be difficult to tell).
The Kirkcudbright Park is
pretty well organised, taking part in worldwide Rare Species programmes with animals such as the Red Panda. The extra
llama just wasn't expected.
Above, the mother washes the baby, by now about 3 hours old.
