BioTerror Warriors: Llamas

[Donnageddon]

From Boing Boing

Push away those vile stereotypes. Llamas are more than mere walking sweaters or Internet meme fodder. For one thing, they jump high enough to warrant a competitive circuit. They also make excellent guard animals for smaller beasts, such as alpaca or sheep. (No, really. Guard llamas. My aunt and uncle have one on their highly productive alpaca farm*.) Plus, they're also supposed to make a pretty good meat source. Llama meat was the first jerky; or charqui, as the Inca called it.

Back in 2006, scientists working with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory announced another area of llama expertise: Fighting in the War on Terror.

I especially like the illustration of the Llama counter-terrorist.

I would worry if I saw that llama coming towards me!

Pshywnkies, is that you in there, man?

Are llamas an eco hazard? Do they emit methane gas?
