THE team at a popular zoo are "very pleased" to announce the birth of a new female Llama.
Both the baby and her mum Gladys are doing well at Sewerby Hall and Gardens zoo. The staff were on hand to check everything was fine for the birth on Thursday at around 11.15am. The new baby is a sister to big brother, Vernon.
Head zookeeper, John Pickering, said: “This is fantastic news. We are so pleased with the new addition to the llama herd here at Sewerby zoo. We were excited to discover that Gladys was pregnant when she arrived here.”
Details of the new arrival’s name will be announced by the zoo staff in the near future.
Gladys and Vernon, both named after Elvis Presley’s parents, both arrived at the zoo earlier this year.
