This is Coconut, a two-year-old male llama. Llamas can weigh up to 300 lbs., have a long coarse coat and stand almost 6 ft. tall. They have been domesticated for some 5,000 years now and were historically used as beasts of burden. Now, with the advent of trucks and other vehicles, the llamas are found on farms serving as guard sentries to protect shepherds' flocks. Some people who are spinners and like to weave their own clothes as a hobby also own llamas. Their fleece is still popular for making the warmest of sweaters and blankets.
