Llama Packing in Alaska

or Picture Index


How do llamas get to Alaska?

Llamas are not native to Alaska, so they must either walk, ride in some wheeled vehicle - or go by air. Tom Landis and Noel McRae sold and shipped four adult llamas via Alaskan Airlines. They built four boxes at the airport, had the llamas walk in, and then screwed the doors shut. Almost as easy as it sounds, too.

The next thing the llamas knew they arrived and were greeted with great joy by John and Jennifer Tabor of Sterling on the Kenai Peninsula.
