LLAMA

It's Ann; I know shortening the screen name is awkward :)

I thought of your spotting today when I went out in the storm and saw our neighbor's "watch llama" looking bedraggled in the rain. They use it to protect the birds they raise in cages. I guess it's brave enough to run off coyotes. Welcome to Project Noah!

Certainly does look like a llama. They've become quite popular as domestic animals in the US, both as guard-animals and for packing. No doubt other things as well. Note that their feet don't have hooves, so have less of an impact on forest soils.
