2 loose llamas lassoed after running amok near Phoenix

SUN CITY, Ariz. -- Two quick-footed llamas that dashed in and out of traffic in a Phoenix-area retirement community were captured by authorities Thursday, causing a stir in the streets and on social media. Television footage showed a large, white llama and a smaller, black llama darting through the streets of Sun City during the lunch hour. Their televised breakout quickly inspired a Twitter account and several hashtags including #LlamasonTheLoose, #llamadrama and #TEAMLLAMAS. Someone also started a Twitter account with the handle @SunCityLlamas. The llamas thwarted numerous attempts by Maricopa County sheriff's deputies and bystanders to round them up before they were roped into custody. The entire ordeal lasted about an hour. It was unknown whether the llamas were anyone's pets.
