Lost Creek Ranger Shuksan

Elahn has been spending the occasional afternoon with his future pasturemates, and when his own group fails to entertain him adequately, he wanders over to the fenceline to see if Shuksan (pictured here), Luka, or Joey might assauge his ennui. This is good; weaning will be all that much easier on Elahn for having made friends in his new home before he gets moved into that pasture permanently.

Although Joey is the grumpiest, Shuksan is the leader in Elahn's group, and Elahn knows it. Here's a good example why — Shuksan notices everything, and doesn't stop looking until he's sure it's safe. That's a good leader (for a llama). Elahn is learning from Shuksan, too.
