Llama found in Aberdeenshire back garden sparks SSPCA appeal

The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after a llama was found behind a property near New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire.

It was spotted running around a 20-acre field.

"We went out to investigate and found the llama but they were very nervous and difficult to catch," said Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer, Debbie Gibson.

"We have been in touch with the locals in the area to try and identify the owner but we have had no luck so far.

"We have been back out today and the llama is still in the field. Llamas are herd animals so they will likely be quite stressed out by being in the field alone.

"We would like to try and find their owner in the hope they can assist us with catching them.

"If anyone recognises this llama, they should call our confidential helpline on 03000 999 999."
