COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) -- A lone llama wandering near the summit of Pikes Peak for a month has been captured and is heading to a new home.
Tracy Ducharme and Mike Shealy, both of Black Forest, Colo., trekked up the 14,110-foot mountain Friday to find the little white beast of burden.
They took two llamas with them, hoping Homer's herd instincts would lure him to them. The two split up and Ducharme spotted the llama, which bounded after her llama, Dancer. She then slipped a rope around his neck.
"I dubbed him 'Homer' because of his little odyssey," she said, referring to the classic Greek novel "Odyssey" by the poet Homer.
Ducharme said the llama might lose its ears to frostbite, but is otherwise fine....

I’m so glad they got this little guy. (And I’m loving all the llama pics)
To: JoeProBono
The llama is a quadruped which lives in the big rivers like the Amazon. It has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey. But it is provided with fins for swimming.
Llamas are larger than frogs.
Llamas are dangerous, so if you see one where people are swimming, you shout...Look out, there are llamas!
