Despite the best efforts of the Scottish SPCA, the wooly creature has evaded capture for two days
An escaped llama has evaded rescuers for two days after being discovered alone in an Aberdeenshire field. Officers from the Scottish SPCA were called to an area of land near the village of New Pitsligo on Thursday, June 22, after the South American mammal was spotted at the back of a property.
The SSPCA have now launched an appeal to try and trace the animal's owner so it can be returned to them safely. They have been liaising with locals but have so far been unable to find them. Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer, Debbie Gibson, said: “We received a call to our animal helpline about a llama running around a 20-acre field at the back of a property near new Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire. We went out to investigate and found the llama but they were very nervous and difficult to catch.
