No Drama for this Llama

Ike, a llama owned by Wilderness Ridge Trail Llamas, got loose in the Yellowstone National Park backcountry after a guide removed his harness. Despite multiple search efforts, Ike still hadn’t been found after three months — until Susi Huelsmeyer Sinay, of Yellowstone Llamas in Bozeman, Mont., stepped in. “I heard about it, by some people who alerted me to the fact that there’s a llama running loose in Yellowstone,” she said. “I came to Yellowstone last Sunday to check out Ike and see if I couldn’t entice him to come home with me or to leave the park.” She brought out three other llamas, and Ike came out to greet them, and followed the group back to her trailer. “These guys are herd animals,” Huelsmeyer Sinay said. “So when he saw his own kind, he was quite happy.” (MS/Idaho Falls Post Register) ...That’s very llogical.
