5. Oh, OK!
I thought that was the description that had come with it from wherever you found it!

In that case, I've got nothing! :shrug:

9. That is the Great Andean Fuzzy Worm.
The Great Andean Fuzzy Worm, otherwise known as the Woolly Caterpillar, is native to the highest peaks of the Andes in South America. They are shy and sedentary creatures, often staying in the same spot for several decades at a time. Over the years they have adapted their camouflage to make them appear as though they were some sort of legless llama, a common sight in the Andes Mountains thanks to foreign collectors who have taken an interest in llama legs as souvenirs of their visits to the "uncivilised" world.

The Great Andean Fuzzy Worm is largely considered to be a myth as it has never been photographed in the wild. All known photos of the Great Andean Fuzzy Worm have either been photoshopped or do not exist.

11. Hahaha
That's kind of what I thought when I saw it. Weird... (not so much the Andean thing, but the giant fuzzy worm thing).

I think it would make a great coffee table/conversation piece!

13. The one "L" lama
He's a priest.
The two "L" llama
He's a beast,
And I'll bet you
A hot pajama -
There isn't any
No leg llama.
