Young llamas do it with mom

[blue_lotus13]

On Saturday, I went out to a llama farm about an hour and a half away. The owner of the farm has started an agri-tourism business. You can bring the kids out for the day, play with the llamas, lambs, chickens, rabbits, kittens, miniature donkeys and goats, and then have a tea party on her deck. She's a professional chef so the food was good- homemade lemonade, cookies, butter tarts etc.

Llamas are weird. They hum to communicate and have really distinctive personalities. There was a baby llama in the pen that was about 4 days old.

Anyway, while we were talking, a couple of the llamas mounted each other. I did what people always do around animals having sex and tried to pretend it wasn't happening.

That's when I learned that young male llamas will practice mounting their moms. Llamas have sex lying down on their knees. Apparently young male llamas will mount their moms to learn how to mount properly.

I found this rather disturbing.
