Just a bit of fun today. When I returned from a long stroll in the Open Air Museum Gross-Raden, I found a few interesting guys ouside the entrance hall.
They were surely not resembling any domesticated amimals the Slavic tribes whose life is shown is the museum would have bred. Indeed, they looked distinctly un-European. So, how did they end up in the German woods?
There is a farm nearby, the Kamelhof Sternberger Burg, where llamas and Bactrian camels are bred. They also have reindeer, yaks and ostrichs. The family offers guided tours with the llamas and camels, among other events. That's how the long-necked fuzzy furs ended up outside the museum.
Only the male llamas are used for the tours because the dams stay with their crias (babies). Domesticated and well treated llamas are gentle animals and rarely spit at humans. They may spit at other llamas occasionally, though.
Not exactly a selfie, I admit; the nice guide with the llamas took the shots. Too bad I had no time to visit the farm. I'm sure it would have been fun, especially since I'm fond of Bactrian camels.
