The sheep protector

I have had so many people ask me about our Llama, so here he is. His name is Bahama, he got the name from the people we bought him and the sheep from the wife called him that because that is where she wanted to go but because of him and the sheep she couldn't take a vacation there. It would have required being gone to long for someone else to do chores.
Bahama looks kinda of cute in the first picture but that is not up close, up close I thin he looks scary. This is him sneaking up on my because I am taking his picture. We have him because he protects the sheep from predators like coyotes, if a coyote is close he will circle around the sheep and make sure that nothing gets to them.
This is a up close picture he is trying to smell the camera and make sure that it won't hurt his sheep....do you see those big teeth SCARY!! They also have teeth farther back in their mouth that are like snake fangs they clamp on and ripe away skin instead of biting it off.....Bahama doesn't have those anymore they have been removed for the keepers safety. He does spit on you if he doesn't want you to get to close to him, it is a nasty green spit...so STAY BACK
