(A partial eclipse will be seen for a greater time period, beginning shortly after 9:00 a.m. PDT along the Pacific Coast of Oregon.) This eclipse is unprecedented in modern llamanoids time in that thousands of llamas reside in the path of totality, and many more live within a day’s gallop.
The next event the llamas will be able to celebrate en masse will be August 12, 2045.
Lamoids, or llamas (as they are more generally known as a group), consist of the vicuña (Vicugna vicugna, prev. Lama vicugna), guanaco (Lama guanicoe), Suri alpaca, and Huacaya alpaca (Vicugna pacos, prev. Lama guanicoe pacos), and the domestic llama (Lama glama). Guanacos and vicuñas live in the wild, while alpacas – as well as llamas – exist only as domesticated animals.
A true and very sad fact is that llamas can die of loneliness.
A vision impaired llama may never find love.
It is because, we, as humans, domesticated the llama, have a moral responsibility to protect their eyes when they pronk (llama for dancing) and stare at the sun.
