It is very common to see wildlife on the North Shore. Just last week I saw a fox almost eat my husbands golf ball at Superior National, then later that week I saw a large bear cross the road. You would expect me to say I saw a moose or a wolf, but never a llama. I was bringing my son to daycare last Thursday on County Road 7 and saw something large, furry and white up ahead. I slowed down to a stop and stared at a llama on the side of the road. It was so bizarre. I didn’t know what to do, so I pulled out my camera phone and took a picture, then went on my way and called the police station to alert them of the oddity. I must apologize to the dispatcher as I could not stop laughing. I was caught so off guard, especially when she asked me to describe the llama…tall, furry, white with a brown spot. I hope that the owner now has their llama safe at home and all is well. As for me, I now look for all types of wildlife on my drive to work, including llamas. -Kris
