Why?
1. They're a source of tasty meat
2. They're damn awesome. Look at this one:

As if to convince me further, I've discovered that there is a band known as the Llama Farmers. It is quite evidently a sign and one that I would be foolish to ignore.

What I found intriguing when I was in South America was that Llamas belong to a family of animals which also include Al-Pacas (which most people would know, I'm sure) but also the far rarer 'Vicuna'. In fact, these are so rare that all of the animals are owned by the government which then sells their fur, which is worth a lot more than the fur of the first two families. Why all of this llama-related information, I hear you ask? Well, why not! Although if you want to follow my exact train of thought, I'll lay it out beneath this lovely vicuna diagram:

Firstly, I was looking for a job and came across a pub known as the 'Goat and Tricycle'. Now, I have an irrational soft-spot for goats. But even with this in mind, it struck me that this was one of the best pub names I'd ever heard, far outstripping the 'Anchor' and 'George' which crop up in every village across the U.K. So then it occurred to me - if I were to name a pub, what would it be? Stealing the goat-ish theme would feel akin to plagiarism, so I went farther afield for my animal-based muse.
I'm waffling a bit.
Sorry!
