Weil am Rhein (dpa/lsw) – Even the seduction skills of an alpaca stallion could not attract a runaway llama lady in Weil am Rhein. In order to catch the escaped animal, a veterinarian from Basel had to stun the llama, the police said on Friday. It was supposed to move with three other conspecifics in a transporter from the Prague Zoo to the Zoo in Zurich. During a break on Thursday, it escaped in a hotel parking lot.
Although the llama was in a green area nearby, it absolutely did not want to go back into the transporter. An alpaca stallion specially organized from Lörrach was supposed to attract the llama lady, but was unsuccessful. After the vet’s intervention, the animal could be loaded back into the transporter in the early hours of the morning.
