A crisis was averted this morning as three rogue llamas took to the streets to wreak havoc in the neighborhoods along Newburg Road.  Three llamas escaped early this morning from the aptly named Louisville Llama Farm, but are all now back in custody.  According to WLKY, one six-year-old witness announced, “It was so cool.”


“I looked over and there was a llama in the backyard,” proclaimed another witness.  Only two llamas made an eventful escape.  The alleged ring leader was found nibbling shrubbery at a house near Bardstown Road.  The accomplice llama was found near Newburg Road, probably trying to flag down a ride, but  hitch hiking is difficult with cloven feet.


The llamas apparently escaped after some raucous partyers left the gate open.  Read more about the daring getaway at WLKY, WHAS11, and the C-J (hat tip to Fat Lip).  You can also read about the bizarre animal escapees of New York at the NY Times.
