Llama!

When we drove up the coast a few weeks ago, I saw this llama when we stopped for gas. As the truck pulled up, I saw something in the back, and had this weird moment where I felt like I'd slipped into a parallel universe. Have you ever seen a llama? They are so weird looking! And I'm not sure if it was just this one, but the teeth are maybe the strangest feature. It's like upside down buck teeth. Max was pumping gas, and had his back to the truck. I was yelling from inside the car, but all he saw was my crazy face. I got out of the car and pointed, at which point he turned and started laughing. I got a bit closer to the truck, and asked the woman, who was now pumping gas, "What is that?" I actually didn't know initially. It seemed more like a creature from Dr. Snuggles or The Neverending Story. She explained it was a llama and agreed to let me take these photos. I've decided that they are very cool animals, and everyone should see one in person at least once before they die.

Llamas are amazing. There's a Llama farm in Parsippany, NJ. I used to park my car along side their fence and watch the little ones playing - trust me, they're adoreable. I always think Llamas look like a mixture of Kangaroos and Camels. I love your description of their teeth! Tee Hee Hee.
