Introducing The Llama Song and Reasons Why They Are Cool

It goes like this:
Happy Llama, Sad Llama,
Mentally Retarded Llama,
Super Lama, Drama Llama, 
Big Fat Mama Lama,
Moose! Camel! Fish!


It is a pretty random song, but its a cute with hand gestures.
I have to say that llamas are truly interesting creatures. Its uniqueness begins with their names. What other animal has double 'L's as the first two letters their names? What's more?Their names share the same pronunciation as lamas, as in spiritual leaders in Tibet. That in itself adds a certain holiness to llamas.
Also, llamas just LOOK different. They look like a combination of giraffes, sheep and camels. They have long necks like giraffes, wooly fur like sheep and legs that look like camels. I would definitely want to ride one because they look like a comfortable and fun ride. (I learned recently that the wool of an alpaca llama can be made into high quality clothing that is extremely soft and comfy.)
I think it is sad that they are one of the less widely known animals. I didn't know about them until a few years ago. They are almost never in any children's book, where young kids first learn about the wide variety of animals. If I were one of those children authors, I would devote one whole book JUST on llamas because they are worth it.


 
Alpaca Llamas of different color! (Don't they look soft and wooly and comfortable?)
