“’See alpacas go slow’ doesn't have the same ring as ‘SeeSnowGoSlow’ but honestly, if you see one on the highway... slow down,” police said in the original post.
Subsequent video from the busy stretch of highway that was released on Monday shows the seemingly calm llama being corralled and escorted off the highway by police officers and a Ministry of Transport worker.
