Whitetop the llama, who has lived since 2006 at the Victory Junction camp for children with serious illnesses and chronic medical conditions in North Carolina, was officially named the oldest living llama in captivity and oldest llama in captivity ever, by Guinness World Records.
`He is so good with our campers that as soon as our camp days` start, he just lays down and he doesn`t get up until lunch. He`ll just lay there and he lets kids run up to him and love on him,` said Billie Jo Davis, the barn director at Victory Junction.
`He treats it like a job-it is his job! Whitetop spends his days sur-rounded by children at the year-round camp, as well as nine horses, two goats, two rabbits, two miniature donkeys and a miniature highla n d C0w.
