Mamma Llama and Moonbeam Announce a Son

Friday brought the long-awaited arrival of the newest llama to Greg and Michelle's herd. Mama Llama gave birth to a healthy boy. The video shows attempts at his first steps. Cute little guy, isn't he?


Moonbeam is a very devoted and caring father, ever on the alert. He even pitched in with the other girls in welcoming him and trying to help the little fella stand.




From the struggle in the video, you may be interested to hear that he was walking about 45 minutes after his birth. He now knows what his legs are meant to do, but at times they seem to have a mind of their own and to surpise even him.

Here he is sharing a moment with mom. A name is in the works.
