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.
But despite the team trying to help the wooly creature, the "nervous" llama dodged all attempts to contain it and they were forced to leave it in the 20-acre field. They returned on Friday for a second rescue bid, but this also proved fruitless.
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.
