It seems that the number of cases of observation of anomalous animals is increasing every year.

Most recently, we reported on an unidentified huge cat attacking a man in South Carolina, and earlier this happened in Great Britain.

Whether all this is some kind of consequence of a change in the behavior of ordinary animals under the influence of climate change or something else, or this is some other phenomenon, it is impossible to say. But a recent incident may also fit into this chain.

In the city of Louisville, Kentucky, an unknown animal burst into a pen with llamas at night and killed six of them and wounded seven more. Nobody had seen anything like it here before, especially since the paddock was located in a populated suburb, and not somewhere in a lost countryside.

The llama pen was part of the Louisville Llama Farm and according to the owners of the farm, this is the worst incident for them in all years.

"All of our llamas are practically pets, they are very gentle, intelligent and easily attached to people," says farm owner Dale Hill.

Hill and his wife know each llama "by sight" and by name. After the incident, Dale's wife is still depressed.

It all happened Monday morning when Dale's wife went to feed the animals. She saw a broken wooden fence and everything around it was covered with the blood of killed and wounded llamas. The fence was broken by an injured llama who tried to jump over it in an attempt to escape.

“What it did might and could have been a dog, but then this dog has to be very large to easily handle the llamas, each weighing over 200 kg. But whoever attacked them, it all looked very scary says neighbor Mary Moseley, who lives next to the farm.

According to the local animal control service, the killer of the llamas was an animal with large, sharp fangs. Deep bite marks were found on the legs and neck. But so far they are not able to clarify whether it was a wolf, coyote, dog or other animal.

Dale Hill does not think that these could be coyotes, since earlier the local coyote somehow made his way to the pen to the llamas and they were not at all afraid of him and, moreover, successfully drove away from themselves.

At the moment, the main version is still an attack by a coyote (or a flock of coyotes). The city even issued a warning not to leave pets and small children alone.

An interesting detail is that the llama farm is located near the Louisville Zoo. But from there, there have not yet been any reports of the escape of a large predator.
