Animal Doc | Meet Highlander the Llama

 Llama Tell Ya Somethin'

Llamas tend to have an average life expectancy of 20 years. In llama terms, Highlander, who is eight, is approaching middle age.

During these eight years, he has been eating Bermuda Coastal hay and carrots, his favorite treat.

 

 

Llamas are social creatures and they enjoy the company of other llamas or kind caretakers. (Do you know what a group of llamas is called? investigate!)

When they are in a group, they sometimes make a noise that sounds like humming.

When they are alone, they enjoy kicking back and watching a movie. At least, Highlander does. One of his favorite flicks is Star Wars!
