The Protector - Llama - a photo on Flickriver

The Protector - Llama

Out to an alpaca farm while we were on Manitoulin Island. I have always been a knitter and loved seeing and feeling their fur...what beautiful but expensive yarn. What we found very interesting though, was when we asked about how the herd is protected from predators (like bears and wolves), we were told that is why every field contains a couple of Llamas. These Llamas use there front legs to stomp on the prey but more importantly they spit with their very acidis spit into the eyes of the prey rendering them unable to see giving the aniimals time to flee. This is one of the Llamas that is 'the protector'...this one would come up to me and take the apples that I was able to take off the tree and feed to her that she couldn't reach...we quickly became fast friends.
