CULLEOKA, Tenn. - A llama on the lam in southern Maury County is scaring neighbors and their pets.
Neighbors in Culleoka said the animal was first spotted about a year ago.
Caryol Lloyd lives on McKnight Road and last spotted the llama in her driveway Sunday night as she was leaving her home.
"I was able to throw rocks...," she told News 2. "You know, just enough to chase it [out of] here."
With the animal around, Lloyd worries about letting her grandchildren go outside and play and wishes it would go away.
She said the animal injured her neighbor's dog and tried to attack hers.
"Every time I come out have to make sure that [the llama is] not here before I bring my animals out," she continued. "It rears up and tries to stomp on them."
Lloyd claims the llama shows up four to five times a week.
She said she moved to Culleoka for the peace and quiet and never dreamed she'd have to deal with a llama.
"We are 800 feet off the road so you figure they would be safe here but whoever expected a llama," she laughed.
Lloyd said the llama may belong to one of her neighbors.
She said she has called animal control but has not heard back.
