Provo, Utah — Five domestic llamas were spotted taking an evening stroll on train tracks in Provo, Utah, on Thursday after the woolen creatures escaped from their owner, according to the Utah Transit Authority.
Several emergency responders were dispatched to round up the small herd after transit officials received reports of the animals wandering the Union Pacific line. The llama search didn't delay train service, transit authority spokesperson Gavin Gustafson said.
Whether the llamas had been caught was unknown as of 10 p.m. local time, about three-and-a-half hours after crews were called to the area 43 miles south of Salt Lake City, Gustafson said.
