Mainers should be on the lookout for a baby llama that was possibly stolen from a farm in Acton.
Acton Animal Control Officer Jim Driscoll was notified Sunday about a possibly stolen llama.
He is asking farmers and neighbors in the area of Foxes Ridge and County roads to look out for the animal.
The young llama is not old enough to be away from its mother. The animal was born in September.
“This young llama is usually glued to its mother’s hip; always stays very close to her,” Driscoll said.
Driscoll sees no way that the llama got out of its sturdy pen. He said llamas are pack animals and do not run away, especially babies.
There was no evidence that a predator got into the pen, according to Driscoll, who believes the animal was stolen.
The York County Sheriff’s Office is also investigating the incident.
Anyone with information about the llama’s whereabout can call Driscoll at 207-206-6065.
