Casanova

Posted by Michael Fresh (Chester, United Kingdom) on 18 February 2010 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This is the dominant alpha male in a small herd of llamas. A local land owner who I know keeps them as pets and allowed me to have a walk about taking a few shots. Your safe as long as I'm here he said !

Photographed about two weeks ago.

My book entitled, Looe in Cornwall a photographic tour, is on sale now.

Nicely captured. These Llamas are interesting animals. When they don't like someone, they spit on him :)

The ears laid back seems to indicate a suspicious/unfriendly attitude or am I wrong. Great shot of him with detail and color.

Isn't this guy just "The man!"? What female could resist :) You've captured the attitude perfectly.

Wonderfully clear and beautiful colours. Is this by Two Mills not far from Capenhurst?

@steve-stefedesign: No Steve, it's Kingsley just outside of Frodsham.

sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

It does look quite proud. Nice to see an animal well cared for so it can feel that way.

21 Feb 2010 4:55am

@sherri: Yes, they are very well looked after here. There are about 10 llamas altogether.
