Snow brings memories of the Andes Mountains

Above: The llamas and alpaca at Runyan Ranches Petting Zoo near Mayhill enjoyed resting in the snow while the zoo was closed due to blizzard conditions on Friday. After all, the breed comes from the harsh and cold Andes Mountains in South America. Their wool is perfect to keep them warm. Below: The animals are well taken care of with shelter, feed and fresh water. Instead of staying in their shelter, they all ventured out for a stroll in the snow on Friday morning.
