Why do llamas prance in moonlight?

Answer 1

First, we must determine if llamas do prance in moonlight. Since there have been several occurrences of llamas prancing in moonlight, and none of the have been deemed true, then, on average, we can (safely) say that llamas sometimes prance in moonlight.

Back to the question: Why DO llamas prance in moonlight? I can see several motivations as why they might prance in moonlight, and, frankly, this is a topic filled to the brim with mights and sometimes. For one, a male llama, feeling that it is not handsome enough to attract a mate, might prance, putting itself into a higher reproduction potential than the other llamas in the herd.

Another potential reason for the likeliness of prancing llamas is entertainment. Let's face it. Llamas lives are extremely boring. They wake up. They eat. They walk. They eat. They go to bed. Wouldn't prancing bring a little fun into their lives?

The final reason is to scare off predators. Llamas are very meaty. They would be the perfect meal for, lets say, a Homo Sapien Sapien. The early hominid would be hungry and cold. The llamas, with all the features described above, would provide clothing and blankets from their fur, a meal or two from their meaty complexions, and fat or fuel from their fatty parts. The prancing would scare away the death of many llamas.

llamas are one of the most mysterious creatures on the planet. Without them, many llama-prancing scientists would not have jobs today.

Answer 2

Llamas are known to be more active during the night, when they can see better in the moonlight. They may prance as a way to express their playful or curious behavior, or simply to stretch their legs and exercise.
